Oh Wal Mart

[TayHudson]

Should NOT be allowed to carry fish anymore if they can't take care of them. I wanted to steal a little baby ablino oscar from here but I couldn't. I have no business having an oscar, but I wanted to save him. He was probably the best looking fish out of all of them. Half of their tanks are dry and have been for months.

When we went tonight they must have gotten a new shipment in of some fish. Including, about 10 tiny SKINNY ICH infested clown loaches (I've had 4 that I lost to a horrible bout of Ich and I actually cried), 1 blind gourami, not to mention the other gourami's in the tank that had horrible fin rot. And in pretty much each thank there was 1-2 dead plecos or other kinds of fish. They had the tiniest baby parrot cichlids as you can see in the photos, 1 of which was dead and covered in fungus. . . Needless to say I was pretty disgusted.

Yeah, their selection always gets me mad...thankfully, I said something to the manager at one of the local Wally Worlds here in town and they actually cleaned up their act! I was very surprised to see healthy looking fish there...maybe try doing that?

Good. This one by my house should give it up. They used to have really nice fish, that were clean and healthy. But they also had someone full time to take care of them. Now they have either been fired or have to work in a different department. So the fish have to suffer. It just really gets to me, even tho I know there is nothing I can do about it.

Maybe I should show them the photos I took. Or just say "hey eat this dead rotting human corpse and see how you feel."

They haven't had any bettas for a long time and they actually had about 5 tonight, of course in dirty a** water. They were beautiful too. I love my betta and I've nursed him back to health from a local Petco. I can't go into those places and not feel horrible for the fish.

I think they are cutting the people who used to just manage the fish. One a few minutes away stopped for that reason, I really hope this one does soon. It's so depressing.

Complain. Then complain some more. Then guilt trip them because they are killing dozens of animals. Most walmarts ( where I live) stopped selling fish years ago.

Walmart around here needs to give it up as well.. Meijers as well..They have more dead fish than live ones and ich,fungus and fin rot on the ones that are alive!!! They just don't care enough to let their employees actually care for their stock. I was told by a walmart employee that they count the dead fish to get a credit from their supplier. If their shipment has ich and is not sold right away, they count the dead ones for supplier credit.

Forking sick!!!,
