Just going by what I have seen at my Walmart, I know that 80% of the fish bought from them die within a couple weeks even if they have awesome living conditions once they are bought.

I worked for a year at a petstore near the local walmart here and sooo many people came in complaining about their fish and how their bettas were dieing or how their tropical fish had ich, etc...

I am just stating what might happen. But If she has had bettas live from them before. By all means go for it. But I would never buy a fish from them, just from what I have herd and experienced..

I understand you not liking fish coming from Wal-Mart, I know i'll never buy another fish from Wal-Mart. I have no problem with that.

BUT, It's pretty damn heartless and rude to tell someone their pet is going to die. I don't think you'd necessarily like it if someone told you your pet was probably going to die.
