That is just plain sad. I hope this was a one time thing and not a new trend. They have hermit crabs, betta fish, ADF and now angel fish? They are going to far.

Angelfish don't breath at the surface, so yes they should have filters or air pumps. They also are taller than long so their fins may not fit in the cups. I hope this is just some cruel joke some teenagers played with the cups instead of something the store is doing. I don't know of any national fish suppliers who provide angelfish in cups.

Wow... I'm at a loss of words for this.
Has someone tried contacting a local animal rights organization about your walmart? I haven't seen this trend in my walmart... in fact, my walmart has taken live fish out of it altogether. Thank God!

No, I'm afraid not. They had way too many in cups for a teenager to have done it and plus they had a price above the cups that said $7 something...I hope this is just some cruel joke some teenagers played with the cups instead of something the store is doing. I don't know of any national fish suppliers who provide angelfish in cups.

Wow, that's horrible. Next thing you know, people will start trying to house angelfish in a .5 gallon setup. You should ask who they use for a supplier. Most walmarts will tell you.

yeah I thought about next time I go if the angel fish are still in cups to ask about it. My mom knows a guy who works in the pet department at wal mart and I'm sure he could tell us something as to why they're doing that. it just seems cruel--it's bad enough they do it to bettas but at least they can breathe w/out air bubbles...

That is horrible!!!!!I love Angel fish, but have never seen them in litttle cups before! Our Wal-Mart has also done away with carrying live fish. This is fine with me b/c every one I ever got from them has died. I recently went to PetSmart and got a Betta and he is doing great. I feel sad for the angel fish!
