Walmart should be BANNED from selling fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
okay you guys want to tell me I'm doing a horrible job about making a good argument out of this, well sorry, but have you ever seen the fish at your local walmart, if they even sell any? They are look horrible, the tanks are NEVER cleaned and half of them have numerous dead fish in them that are cover in white fuzz. I'm not the best person at making a case for this stuff, so don't jump my case, please? thnx. lol

For the whole eating thing that someone mentioned, it doesn't seem to be the case as to why the other one is so skinny, they are sharing the food I just put in fine. but I guess we will see how well they do. They keep trying to eat the thermometer. I'm laughing at the skinny one because he just discovered one of the ghost shrimp and is not chasing it around the tank. lol


just to add, I wont be keeping them for the sake of my goby dragon, I plan on selling them to my local fish store who specializes in saltwater and brackish fish. I'm sure they can do a much better job them me and helping them. I just wanted them out of walmart. (:
 
The one by my house always has sick fish. Also all the tanks share the same water. You can complain but it won't change. Well... if you complained to corporate you might get an answer. You save one another will take its place.
 
Thats the only bad thing about walmart, you can save a few but next week they have more that end up just like the ones I just saved. I know my voice on here wont make a difference or change anything, its more of a rant because I think its cruel
 
Exactly.Walmart shouldnt sell fish.given.But you "rescueing" fish from them is exactly what the want.sales.Leave the fish there.Encourage everyone else to do the same.Fish will die but eventually they will stop selling them if there is no profit in it.

x2, I've done my share of "rescuing" there, lol. But in the end you need to realize, they're just going to get more next week.
Can't save them all.

My friend keeps buying africans from there and wonders why they're always dying and his water is fine. I keep telling him it's the fish not the tank but he won't listen.

I wish there was a license requirement to work with fish. Too many commercial/franchise lfs hire people that just don't give a crap or know any better. Yesterday at a Petco looking for dither fish for my 55 gallon w/chocolate cichlid and 6" L91, the employee was trying to tell me it was ok to put in 2-3 more SA/CA cichlids as long as they were not aggressive. :screwy:

Kinda reminds me of this idiot girl I talked to when I called petco. I ask if they have Seachem Excel. She asks what it is. I say its for aquarium plants, its like a fertilizer. She says " Oh no, we are just a fish store".
 
Walmart sells fish because people buy them. As Madding said....
 
I went into my local Wally World a few weeks ago and had to TRY to explain to my children why 90% of the fish in their cubes were dead and why nobody had cleaned it up yet by the middle of the afternoon. Oh well, at least they have good deals on T.P.
