They've gotten rid of the fish sections at all the Walmarts here I believe. I know the one by me phased theirs out a while ago. Though now its just the LFS that usually are misinformed.

It Breaks my Heart to see the Puffers in the Wal Mart near me. Like so many others i saw them was miss informed and picked up a couple. However the Walmart near me had 1 lady who was awesome and took advise and accually helped alot of the fish there she started taking live Ghost shrimp and feeding the puffers after i donated about 15 one day.

However one day i went in and she told me the Managers were getting upset and she got moved, never saw her back there.

Uh, for some reason, I keep going to look, even though I never buy anything and never would because buying only makes them order more and continue the cycle. I stand there, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry at their total lack of knowledge! I really don't know why I keep stopping since even their food and supplies suck. About the only things that are worth buying are the airline tubing and maybe some decor or filter media.

This is what my Walmart has to say about their GSPs: Green spotted pufferfish are great community fish... accept all types of flake food... and dont grow very large. Sometimes I just wnna tell them about how their killing all these fish that they are selling, but I don't think that they would really like to be educated by a ninth grader. Get this: my walmart gets their info on fish form their on hand fish encyclopedia, which was written in the 70s.

Mine says that they get to six inches (yay!) and "may nip fins." It also says that it is brackish, but they say that you should use aquarium salt, and they say that it's optional.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
