Wal Mart Fish Question

2. Horrible choice of local/regional fish breeders.
Bingo...

I only go to Wal*Mart cause for some odd reason, the ones down here bring in stuff that you almost never find with the other LFS'.

I got a pair of bandit corys, and I could never find more.
One died soon after I got it, but the other is still alive in my 10G and is actually the oldest fish still in that tank!
I wanted get more metae's, cause the one left over is lonely. :(

The closest thing I could get from the LFS' is pandas, which only mildly piqued my bandit's curiosity.

I've seen blue dolphin cichlids at Wal*mart, which I have never seen in the other LFS's.
I've seen big blue zebra cichlids, which I have never seen at other LFS'.

So as bad as a stigma Wal*Mart has, insomniac.vivi hit it right on the head about selection...
