Wal-Mart and fish..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My local Wal*Mart has decent tanks. The water always looks good, although that doesn't mean it is neccessarily, but I don't see more than average dead fish in their tanks, they don't seem terribly overcrowded and the fish look relatively healthy. That said, I still wouldn't buy from them, just as I don't buy from Petsmart. No matter how good the fish look you have no idea what's going on in those tanks at a place like Wal*Mart. I've never seen anyone attending to the fish there. I like fish stores that wont sell fish to you under certain conditions because they know and care about what they're doing.

i feel sorry for the oscar's and the pictus cats at WM every time i see them they appear to be starving whit their bellies sank in...(sickning really) i'll casually walkover to the fish food open some shrimp pellets, freeze dried krill,freeze dried blood worm cubes and some veggie flakes and put some in the tanks for them!!:headbang2:headbang2

Haha that is so badass.
 
Like I have said before, the big chain stores have run alot of local LFS out of business for some of us. Im no fan of Wal-mart live stock, but Petco and the other ones are all some of us have left to buy from..........I am not endorsing any of the big chains by far....

and I thought I was the only one who busts open packages of food and feeds them.. I've netted fish out of the wrong tanks and put them back in the right tanks before too.

Everytime I go with my girlfriend she find people and bugs the crap out of them "excuse me, excuse me! theres a dead fish in here.. can you get it out?"
sweet!!:headbang2
