Returning fish?

Hi everybody,
I’m new to African cichlids… In fact, so new that I don’t have any yet. It seems pretty clear to me that aggression is often (always?) a problem, and sometimes you have to remove a fish. Or maybe there’s a fish that outgrows your current aquarium. Also, of course to save money, you can buy unsexed fish, and then you have to remove the ones that are the sex that you don’t want. So that raises the question, what do you do with unwanted fish? Do local fish stores in the Washington area allow return of aggressive or too–big fish? Or is it necessary to go to an auction to get rid of them?
