My wal-mart is so so. Their tanks are pretty clean, but almost everyone has at least 1 dead fish in it. Also they are horrible at labeling their goldfish. I had bought a fancy tail which they said was a lionhead. Later i had bought food specifically for lionheads, and then i found out he really wasn't one. Also they keep their bettas in those small cups only partly filled, and usually you can find quite a few sick ones, and dirty water. Half the time the staff knows what they are talking about but basically only the simple stuff that's a no brainer. A good thing though is that they usually give me more ghost shrimp than i pay for

and that they have some pretty good prices on equipment.
