Walmart - walmart killed my fish

As an aquarium hobbyist, I am appalled at the fish conditions at my local wal-mart in clinton, mo. First, they do not actually have a position for someone to work solely in the fish department, which is ridiculous because the guys in hardware are the ones that take care of getting people fish and they know nothing about the subject! It is unfair to customers to be sold a fish while being unaware of the care the fish needs, and the fact that the tanks had ich in them!

I ended up purchasing a ton of ghost shrimp and a plecostamus approximately 2 weeks ago and it was the first time I have purchased fish from my local walmart. When the assistant from the hardware department got the fish, first he nearly killed them by whacking the net against the sides of the fish bag knocking them senseless, then most importantly - he did not know the tanks were being treated for ich. There were no signs on the tanks saying they were carrying a highly contagious fish disease.

I brought them home to add them to my tanks and they brought the ich with them. I was told the tanks were being treated for ich when I went back to walmart two days later and was about to purchase another fish when the lady helping me from pharmacy said they were being treated for a bad ich infestation.

In less than two weeks, the shrimp I had purchased and placed in 3 tanks have now killed off over $200 worth of fish I had purchased from high-end pet stores previously in those tanks. So thanks to walmart, I paid walmart about $15 to kill almost every fish I had, and I was not made aware there was a problem with the fish at the time of purchase and I believe walmart owes me about $200. I will never buy fish from walmart again due to this, and will highly encourage everyone I know not to buy fish at walmart.

I work at Wal-Mart store #0020. I agree with you about the conditions of the fish. I do not work in that area so I rarely get a chance to go past the tanks. Although today I past by there to go to break and saw a Wal-Mart employee cleaning out the dead fish from the tanks...Alot of them...I use to have my own fresh water fish tank before I moved to Clinton Mo. So I was concerned and asked about the Toxicity levels and the employee responded if we had Proper filters they would not be dieing...I just shook my head and walked away...

you bought fish from Walmart, what did you expect?

Its like buying champagne from a gas station and expecting it to be as good as a premium aged bottle.
