Walmart Any Fish Reviews

I first started buying fish when my husband made me a small pond for my garden and the fish became pets for my children because they needed to be wintered indoors. — I bought my first fish for the pond at our local Walmart. While there I noticed a lot of sick looking fish, but I confess the even though I had researched the fish I wanted for my pond, I really knew nothing about other fish. — The first fish I purchased only lasted a couple days and went 'belly up'. I was dissapointed, but sure it was something I did wrong. Since Walmart had a return policy , I took my poor dead… read full review »

I used to work at Petsmart, so I saw fish getting shipped in every week in large cardboard boxes packed with styrofoam.  It looked pretty stressful, but most of them actually survived the trip.  I can't even imagine what Wal-Mart does to their fish to have such obviously stressed and sick looking fish.  Also, when I briefly worked at Petsmart (they're really no good either), I heard, "I bought some fish at Wal-Mart, adn now all my fish are dead."  There is no reason for a store like Wal-Mart to carry… read full review »

I have been looking for a "fighting beta" fish and notice that Wal-mart had them, but their colors didn't look right (dull) and the water they were in didn't look clean. I felt bad for the little fellas and I think I will stay away from Wal-mart's fish area for buying fish.  … read full review »

It's just plain sad that Wal-Mart is allowed to sell fish!  The fact that more of them end up floating than living is sick.  I don't know if they over or under feed them but it needs to stop.  I go shopping a Wal-Mart to periodically pick-up cat treats.  There is nothing more depressing then to see the look on a child's face when they look at all the floaters.  Those that do survive are on the verge of death.  A fish is not a product, its… read full review »

I spent almost an hour standing in the pet department at the local Wal-Mart waiting for an associate to assist myself and my crying son in buying a fish.  I should have known right then to pack it up and head for a larger town that offers a pet store... — After finally purchasing 4 goldfish and arriving home, I floated the bag as recommended.  When I returned, 2 of the fish were floating belly up already.  Needless to say, the other 2 soon joined our fishy friends with halos. — Upon contacting the store I was informed that there is no exchange policy on fish even if… read full review »

I have bought fish from Wal mart 3 times now and every time the fish die. The last time i bought the a Angel fish from Wal mart. Me and my son took him home everything was fine. I think is was 2 or maybe 3 days later not only the Angel fish was dead but are gold fish that we have had for almost 5 years was dead too. Now I have had fish for over 20 years and gold fish are one of the hardest fish to die. When i took back the fish to Wal mart and explained what happened the sales person told me there was nothing he could do for me. Stay away from Wal marts… read full review »

I have 3 fish tanks  in my apartment, a 75 gal. a 10 gal. and a 5 gal. The walmart fish never live for more than 2 weeks when we have bought them. When they die then my daughter becomes extremely sad and we have to have funeral to flush them to the sea. Ever since finding nemo she thinks it is funny to tell them they are going to the sea. I never buy walmart fish anymore, we always go to meijer or petco ( they are the best). lately though we don't buy any fish because ours keep reproducing and we have about 50 cichlids… read full review »

I don't care a whit about Wal-Mart's service.  Every Wal-Mart I've ever been to has given me terrible service, those poor overworked, underpaid employees... anyway, about the fish- they were awful.  I've bought fish from them on several occasions and they have always gotten sick and died.  However I've never had any problems with the fish I've purchased from reputable fish suppliers or pet stores. —… read full review »

       I have bought many fish; however, the ones at Wal-Mart when I have bought one or two always died and were more expensive than the fish store. The only fish I would buy there is feeder fish if I was desparate and have to. Took 30 minutes looking for someone to get the fish and got tired of waiting had to get my own and on another occasion I got the casher in the lawn and gardern to come to help but thought I had a question on prices because that person did not know anything and as a matter fact told me to get my own fish out of the tank. Note only… read full review »

It doesn't say online and is not posted in the store, but Walmart only offers fish exchanges if your fish dies, and ONLY within 48 hours! — — I didn't know any better when I bought my 1st fish there.  It lived (so far), no worries.  With that good luck (whick would be normal for most pet stores), I decided to get another fish then next time I went to the store.  My 2nd fish would not eat, which is normal for some new fish.  I didn't start to worry until it hadn't eaten for a week.  I asked advice at pet stores and they said to return the fish because it… read full review »
