Whoot! I wish they'd stop selling fish all together. Or at least bother to hire employees familiar with how to keep an aquarium and how to keep fish healthy.

I went into one over a week ago to look for some equipment and noticed that they did not carry any fish.

The one here in town still stocks, though.

About time... although I can't say much, our Walmart never had fish, bearly 1 isle for all pet stuff and it's mostly cat/dog/bird food and kitty litter.

The only thing I've ever thought to get from them is fish food. They're the only ones who carry the large tins of Wardley's Tropical at a ood price. Other than that I wouldn't ever get any fish from them. Their fish have never been taken care of well enough so that they could be top quality.
