Yeah, don't beat yourself up about it - every once in awhile I have those situations where as soon as a few words leave my lips, warning bells go off in my head as to the future problems what I just promised is going to cause.

But I wouldn't start fortifying your contract over it. They should not have expected fish replacement, and you got shnookered into doing it. Learn from that and don't do it again.

When people ask me about what kind of fish will live in their ponds, I always tell them - go buy some feeder fish at $.05 apiece. If those live for a year, try something more interesting. They almost never listen to that advice, but at worst I can say "I told you so" if their $100 koi are floating belly up.
