You have no rights to return the fish.
Always research what you are buying before buying it.
To find a new suitable home you must 1st identify what you have.
So far we still haven't got a clue what sort of catfish it is.
It could be anything from a Pim. pictus to say the Wells catfish growing to
3 meters!
Many species of catfish eat small fish and all start life tiny.
What does it look like?
What was it sold to you as?
Can you find any pictures that look something like it on the web?
Try Planet Catfish - loads of pics there.
Once identified it'll be a lot easier to find a new (and suitable) home for
it.
