Walmart must have bought a bunch of them, because I live in Mass, and just last week I went to Walmart and saw a 4-5" peacock eel for about $3. But when I looked at it, it was dead upside on the bottom covered in fungus, poor lil thing.
 
yeah they were wicked cheap so i picked it up i wanted to get all three but didnt have the money so im prob. gonna go back to get the rest...

It was still in the store when it was dead. I dont have room for it anyways so I wouldn't have gotten it anyway, I have no clue what the fungus was, it was just all white, bubbly, and fuzzy. Southeastern Mass.
 
MASSIVELY MEDICATE ! ! ! !

Always treat fish from those kind of places as diseased.
A little preventive medication is always a good idea.

Last week I found Sengal Bichirs at Wally World for 6.64. Very small of course but I thought that it was a heck of a deal.
 
Also on the sick fish at Wal Mart thing.....I once bought a fish that infected the rest of my tank and killed off quite a few of my fish. Well I was not one bit happy and made so much of a fuss by calling the main office that I got like a $35 gift card free in the mail for the trouble.
