Walmart should be BANNED from selling fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have seen a Walmart that has excellent fish care another that seems to only stock dead broken fish. I have only bought Walmart fish once to save a Blood Parrot that had been in a small tank by its self for a month and was covered in stress spots and Ick. I would go there every Sunday for a month and eventually I said f*** it, I wasn't about to let some some dumb redneck buy it and put it in a 5 gallon only to have it die a week later. I know Blood Parrots are hated by a lot of people but I love them. Luckily he is happy and healthy now.

my walmart sells completely healthy fish i dont know what your guys problem is

AGREED!
 
Walmart fish department manager: "Time to order more green spotted puffers."
 
our walmart has 3 10 gallon tanks...the fish are always bumping into eachother and theres so many dead ones....
 
so walmart should be banned from selling something because they are like 99% of other LFS? Great argument
 
how long have people been saying this?

i dont even live in the US and i think walmart should be banned from selling fish lol

how many people do you know that bought a fish from walmart and it lasted more then a month? Because I don't know any.
If you aren't specialized fish/animal store you should not be allowed to sell them, thats my opinion.

:duh:

STOP BUYING FROM WALMART. For every fish you buy they just bring in another. SO YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. More fish are now dying because of your actions.
 
i would never buy anything from walmart... just don't go in the store you won't see the fish, and you won't buy it because you won't feel bad
