Better Yet,
I saw Grey Tiger Oscars for $2.99CDN one day, but it was an error in the price. They changed it to 5.99 a week later. There are beautiful Bettas there for $2.67CDN, That would be like 1.50$US I can't understand how they can make a profit. ....Kodiak "RedForeman ©®" wrote in message ...

They don't, not on fish, and they don't care (they are 'lost leaders' to bring people in to buy food and accessories). There has to be something morally currupt about a business practice which kills live creatures to advance sales of merchandise. If the prices are higher in the states, is it because they are funneling it back into the care of the fish by training the staff and providing them with the tools and medications needed, or are they just lining their pockets faster? *sigh* NetMax ...Kodiak "RedForeman ©®" wrote in message ...

About the only reason to buy fish from Wal Mart is that they often mislabel
them and /or the staff can't tell one from the other, so you can occasionally get a $15 fish for .99 cents. On the other hand, fish from Wal Mart are frequently diseased. There are always dead fish in their tanks when I have passed by (as I often do when I'm in Wal-Mart for some other purpose, like my girlfriend dragged me there) and of the few times I have bought fish from them I'd say at least 1/3 had some kind of disease, in one case a very serious bacterial infection which killed a number of my fish.
