Walmart Not Selling Live Fish

Cichlid-Man pointed this out in his thread that an article a few months ago said that Walmart would no longer be selling fish at some of it’s US stores.
Some bits from the article…
The world’s largest retailer said it would stop selling live pet fish at some U.S. stores in response to consumer demand.
Wal-Mart, which has more than 3,000 U.S. discount stores, declined to say how many stores would stop selling live fish and that it is “certainly” not abandoning the business.
“You see too many floaters,” Chappell said of its displays. “You walk in there and there are a bunch of dead fish….It’s not that consumers don’t want fish, it’s just, in my opinion, it’s just consumers don’t want to buy fish there and it’s in large part because they don’t look particularly healthy,” Chappell said.

Target sells fish?
Yep im a sucker for walmart fish. Our LFS closed down this month so that stinks.
oh yea..i guess target doesn’t sell fish…YET!
This fish are less than desirable, but it does depend on the store. I will say that the local plant selection sucks and wallyworld always seems to have nice healthy potted plants.
Ya the plants rock too.
My local walmart uses has a few fish laying on the bottom. I used to just walk by and take a look but the last 8 or 9 months I just don’t even bother. It’s hard to find a really good but not Expensive LFS…
