Maybe your attitude had something to do with this guy's treatment of your fish. I worked construction for years, and I can assure you that clients who treated workers respectfully got a better job done than people who treated them like peons. Perhaps he didn't pick up on your disdain for him, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a factor. That said, I'd go off if I saw one of my employees handle fish that way.

Otto's are notorious for getting their fins caught in mesh nets. I have started using bbs nets for ottos and feeder goldfish just because of this, and it still happens on occasion.
