I haven't seen walmart's fish but ill take your word. I was at pet supplies plus a year ago and it was funny and bad at the same time. A ton of the fish were dead or sick and them small holding tanks were immensely overstocked. The guy there didnt know anything so i tested him. I asked him if i could keep a betta fish in a bowl and i asked him if these different fish could go with it like common goldfish and other fish and he was trying to explain how well they all get together. what fun

even i do not spend $1000 a month on fish food...and i have 70 tanks full of fish...not to mention the fact that i also sell the stuff...when i order i may have to buy $1000 worth ; but it takes a few months to sell that much....
i tend to stay out of stores as most of the employees have little or no knowledge of what they are talking about yet tell you that they are experts.....there have been a few times that i have embarrassed the idiot experts..it's kind of fun in a way...i loved the guy that insisted that otocinclus were african cichlids......and got mad at me when i told him he was wrong..." i work here...i am an expert with fish"....so i asked him about several species of fish using their scientific names...not a single right answer...clerks hate scientific names....lol
i am a million miles from being an expert of any kind ; but i have been in this hobby for a year or two....
Lol, if I could only show you that guy I'll try to paint the picture though.
Late 20s early 30s
Full grown unibrow
Know it all
Fish expert
Said he lives with his parents.(that's when he told me he cut a bunch of holes in the walls to stuff his huge tanks in)
Spends $1000 a month and only works at Walmart.
Now that's a bit much if I spent that much on food I'd leave the hobby. That's more then I spend a month feeding myself and my family. And I eat a lot of health foods not the frozen crap. Plus I have a lemonade addiction where I drink like a full thing of that a day. And I'm feeding 3 people including myself.
Just seems a bit far out. Like I said he was slow or full of himself I'm not 100% on it
