Well like that little story of the kid on the beach says, to that one fish it makes a difference as well. I guess it's just a catch 22. IMO saving that one betta makes a bigger impact than not buying it when it comes to one person.

Exactly I'm glad you see it my way ^_^.
No, what I'm saying is if every serious fish owner boycotted Walmart, which most probably do, it wouldn't make a bleep on walmarts fish sales cause there's so many uninformed people that just buy fish on a whim. So every once and a while if you can make a difference in one fish's life, then why not.
No. I don't agree with their practices when it comes to keeping fish in general so I wouldn't buy them there. If you buy one they order two more so, unfortunately, that would only add to the problem. I'd rather pay another hobbyist for a betta they bred and/or kept in clean conditions.Idk why I like to buy Walmart bettas. Makes me feel that I'm saving something. I have a 20gal with nothin in it and was hopin to get a crown tail. Anyone else buy Walmart bettas?
