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!

yeah, I hope they don't keep this up much longer. Any fish I've ever got from wal-mart had always died, except bettas and gold fish. I think they are pretty hardy fish and they always live a long time when ever I've gotten them from there. Once I bought a few tetras and some sword tails and a few mollies and they all died within a few months....

After the four week quarentine period I no longer consider any deaths or sicknesses the fault of the store they came from. Our walmart actually has a very good fish section and I have no problem buying fish there. I haven't had any mass deaths from walmart fish. If they start selling angelfish in cups they certainly will hear from me though, and the supplier too.

I've never really thought after having a fish for several months and then them dying is the store's fault. It's just that I've bought some sword tails,tetras fish like that from 'actual fish stores' and then bought some from Wal~Mart and the ones from wal mart just don't live as long. I think it's because their immune systems just aren't as strong as other fish other people own/raise.... Some are just tossed here and there and aren't looked after and cared for as good as others... It could be like down the line or something and a fish be ok for a while but then die not long after you get them because of several reasons---not necessarily being your fault or the stores...
