My local Walmart has stopped selling Bettas, whether out of a new found sensitivity, all the bad press (from people who CARE) or because stocking $4 fish wasn't selling enough $30 aquariums and accesories I don't know but at least they've stopped. Poor fish....
Joined hope all walmarts stop selling ALL fish one day! i rember when i was back home in canada and would go to walmart....*shudder* soo many dead fish... one thing that has stuck with me is a mom was buying a gold fish from walmart and as the employee was getting it he scooped up like 2 other dead gold fish along with it..... and the moms daughter started crying... blah soo sad
Luckily our wal-marts, all three, stopped selling them about two years ago. I remember they use to have all their tanks freezing cold, not just the goldfish, tropicals too. they felt no more than 60 degrees Farenheit. It was so sad.
Petsmart is going downhill in my area, the last few times I've gone the bettas are floating in filth, found two dead, many listless. and one time they had sooo many that they were stacked 3 high. Aside from the threat of falling over if someone bumped the shelf, their only air hole was covered and their dirtyness was less noticable if they were buried... :-(
:shock: At least I never bought fish from Walmart. Only once because my cousin wanted some goldfish. However one died from ich. The Betta fish are treated like crap at my Petsmart. :-( Once i went in and the fish were lying in their cups dead. a bunch of fish were sick too. Angry i left and a few days later i went to my mom and pop pet store (They treat their bettas alot better) and bought me a healthy male.
The petco bettas are worse looking than the walmart bettas here.:-(
It really depends on who is working and who owns the place I think.
I agree though, they shouldn't sell bettas if they're not going to properly train their employees on how to care for fish properly.
Once my walmart had the bettas in an inch of water! And about seven were dead. We confronted the store manager, and it got better for quite a while. But yesterday there were five dead. I was soo mad.
