Yesterday I found 2 zebra plecos at walmart for $3 each!!! Just kidding...I did find a female crown tail betta though. Anyone else find the occasional good fish at walmart?
 
Clown loaches, 3 1/2-4 inches, 4.99!
 
Lol on the zebra plecos Clay, ya had me goin there for a bit !

I found a beautiful irredescent green male guppy with a beautiful cobra type tail....bought it for my daughter's tank...unfortunately, the lady at the register put it on the scanner....and then duncie me wasn't paying attention when I left the store and forgot to hold it over the door scanners....needless to say, it lasted about a day and a half...

Dang, it was one of the prettiest guppies I ever did see....and I don't even LIKE guppies !!

I also find an occasional betta worth buying there from time to time, though I'm no longer looking for more of those.
 
I saw 2 clown knife fish there once...didn't get them becasue I knew I didn't have enough tank space for them. Not to say that whoever eventually bought them did either...:rolleyes:
 
I've found a few good fish. I had a gourami that lasted a year with 20 deaths, and 3 fish tank moves..also a good betta. I got him when he looked dead, brought him literally back to life, and he lasted a year and a half. He died because his fins got torn and they never grew back(that happened shortly after I got him)..Walmart isn't my favorite place to buy fish though.

Just curious - are these dangerous to guppy health ?

They told me that when I bought my female betta from wal-mart. So now I'm wondering, if the scanners kill fish, what do they do to us?
 
Zebra danios for 25 cents each...

Not really rare but cheap none the less.

Can I just say, my heart literaly just jumped into my throat and you almost had me running to the car to my local walmart just to see if they happen to be carrying them! but then I kept reading!

My LFS just got 2 zebra plecos in and I really wanted one but at 40dollars a pair and a college semester about to kick off on monday I really needed the money for books!

Good catch on the betta though!
