At my super store wal-mart, they had a dozen in lil betta cups with blue water and the water wasnt even a 1/2" deep. The betta's were half out of the water. I asked the store chick in that section why it was like that and she was like i dont know it was like that when i got here today. I wanted to beat her.
I cant even go in the fish section there anymore cause it makes me feel rage in my belly. :mad2:
I think that atleast if walmart is goin to have a fish section they should hire someone that knows about fish and how to take care of them.

I find theses tales of wal-mart very disturbing.Because I was in our wal-mart here in michigan about 2 weeks ago and I couldnt believe my eyes.Every tank...and I mean EVERY single tank had dead fish in it.There were tanks with half eaten fish...and in 2 or more tanks fish were literaly sucked to the filter...dozens.The big goldfish...barely swimming,floating on top of the water.....I was speechless.And to add insult to injury(if at this point it's possible) the guy working in the dept actualy worked in SPORTING GOODS!!!!!! Seriously.....this is more than a mere coincedence. How can it be that every wal mart fish dept is in such dire straits????
my wal-mart only has five gallons(exept for the 20 gal with koi)and they have about 25 fancy goldfish that are living and i dont know how many are dead because they have been stuck to the filter so long they are just a pile of fungus.they also had just dropped a betta in a overcrowder tank of tiger barbs,i told the guy that worked there that the tiger barbs would pick on the betta until they killed him.the guy tried to get him out for about a minute before saying that if i wanted it out i was going to have to get it,so i did,it took me about 30 secs.i just waited until the betta came up to breathe.i wish wal-mart wasnt alowed to sell fish 
I guess all walmarts are different, but the ones that have the horrible stories are very sad We go to walmart almost every day for something or another since we have 3 kids, we're always needing something LOL. We always head back to the fish department and the people they have working back there are very knowledgable most of the time. However, there was one time I was in there and saw 6 dead plecos - all the others seem to be doing fine. So I found someone to get back there and told her that they needed to be taken out. She said "That's not my department and I don't do dead fish. The woman that does that department is gone today". So, I went up to the customer service desk and reported her. They said, she is NOT gone - she was simply cashiering today, but they'd have someone back there right away. By the time I got back to see the fish (a couple minutes) they had them out already and were writing them down. Since we're in Walmart every day nearly, I did find out that this woman is no longer working there because it's not the first time this has happened with her. Our Walmart seems to have people that actually know about fish for the most part.
