Why do you do this Walmart?

They are just not cared for properly and they are almost always sick. Usually with ich.
Yep. All have ick and usually about half of them are dead just floating around.
There employees have little to no training when it comes to fish. Walmart is the worst when it comes to fish. Worse than bad petco stores.
Well,I didn't go into the money part but I did warn her that the clownfish would not last long in such conditions.She did not seem to care as long as she was able to get her daughter Nemo.
People should not buy fish if they have not researched the fish and if they don't know what they are getting into.
Hello; At a local wal-mart the other day I was at the service desk. They have a rack of male bettas in the small containers. A couple of large women with two small girls were at the betta rack. One of the girls was doing the "mommy I want one" routine in that shrill little girl voice that preceedes a tantrum if they do not get their way. The mother dragged her away briefly, but she ran back and got one.
Moments later i finished my business at the service desk. As i turned to leave the second little girl had dragged her woman (mother?) back and picked out a betta. I was passing the checkout lanes and overheard the young teller trying to explain that the two male bettas cannot be in the same aquarium. I felt that I could sense a decision point. To buy the two fish and avoid a meltdown from the two kids or not .
I chimed in saying that the bettas would fight to the death if put together. That they would tear each other up. That they are called fighting fish for a reason.
I left before finding out the choice. My guess being that they bought the fish to avoid the tantrums. ((I also got the sense they could have been from one of the impure neighborhoods in the area. Maybe I am wrong??)
The clerk was trying to do the right thing.
