Will someone do something!!!!boycot wal-mart fish tanks!!!

I went to a newer super walmart and I was actually impressed with the fish section. I don't know how they are with advice and information but the tanks looked pristine compared to the walmart closer to me. They also had a pretty extensive selection of supplies.

Maybe when I am 18 I will work at a Wal Mart and I can do the fish section. It's pointless fighting Wal Mart, so maybe we could make the best of things and try to get people who atleast moderately know fish doing that section.

thats what i plan on doin at my closest meijer. People will no longer be misinformed!
 
I've come to realize a long time ago... if you want to be a pet owner for a furry animal, fishes, reptiles, or anything that you want to take care of. Do some homework first. Thats what the people out there should do, do homework/research and then they would gain lot more knowledge of how to take care certain pets and probably reduce problems in future if they know what to expect.
I've learned that through my expereince :rant2: so now I know what I will do everytime I decide to take in a new pet.
 
amen to that. if people did their homework not a lot of people would buy those cute little oscars to put in their 10g's with tetras. also if people would do their homeork fish sales would drop by a lot since they would know what they get into. most of the fish sales are from total iggnaramouses(sorry if i spelled that wrong)no insult to non-fish people,they so dont know what their missing.

p.s they should sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo make a fish channel
 
Believe it or not, Wal-Mart is this country's largest seller of live aquarium fish. Now that's a scary thought.

im really pissed off today. i went to wal--mart and i noticed that they had 1'' oscars in their tanks. i ussually keep my mouth shut in situations like this and i didd until this 12 year old kid with his momma shows up with one of those cheap 5 gallon bowfront tanks.they look around and just that poor fishe's luck they pick a liitle itty baby oscar. i know why people like thenm with the black and white patterns.anyways they ask this old lady that they chucked in at that section if the oscar would be ok in that 5g. i almost spontaneously combusted when she said it would be fine andd even tried to sell her some neons to go with him. the old lady got called off for a few minutes so i took the chance and walked up to the lady(she got scared the firt few seconds ,i happen to be 6'4. )i explained to her that the oscar gets about 30cms long and that even neon wouldnt be ok in the 5g (imagine chucking neons in an unheated uncycled tank)i hink the oscar sighed of relief when she left and put the 5g back on the shelf where it should stay. maybe i should have made a suggestion like a betta with cories and a snail or whatever. anyways when the fish hag shows up while im deciding which betta i rescue she asks me where the lady went . i tell her and boy was she pissed. she told me to get out of her section ( :argue: :rant2: :rant2: :argue: which i did with pleasure(after gettin a gorgeous purple and blue crowntail betta).now was i in the wrong? i dont think so.every time i got to a wal-mart im really sad for the poor fish in there(including the ones decomposing in the filter intake). shoulnt someone d some thing. what do you all think of this?

(every time i got there i end up with high pressure and a headache.)

Just ONE more reason I never shop at that stupid, behemoth, mind-numbing store! LOL!

I don't buy anything at Walmart b/c it only helps fund a conglomerate that eliminates specialty shops through undercutting. What you have left, eventually, is a substandard store chain that sells a wide variety of cheap crap rather than many specialty stores that cater to specific needs with a greater choice of quality goods.
