Rescuing all Walmart goldfish - fish abuse?

After my first Walmart video got over 180,000 views I went back to Walmart and bought all of their goldfish. I built them a mini pond which is currently overstocked but they will be in the pond soon!

[@fishingfantasy9335]

Remember if you go and rescue fish from Walmart they will just be replaced by another fish so I don’t encourage everyone to do this! But keep in mind this video will be in a news article about how Walmart mistreats fish from the largest news agency in the world so remember that before you write “wow that’s so stupid that did nothing they will just buy more fish”

[@aidanzollner5101]

Fishing Fantasy I would recommend at least putting a wave maker or pump in your ponds. Or even better filters. But a pump will move the water around providing oxygen, a swimming current for the fish, and also provide more nutrients to your plants and the bacteria. You can get a small one on ebay or Amazon. You have earned yourself a new subscriber

[@Megan-cj3jl]

Fishing Fantasy yeah but once those fish die in Walmart they will just throw those fish out that suffered and get news ones just to do it all over again....

[@Tubylubrx]

What people clearly don’t understand is that when the fish die at Walmart, they buy more to replace them. This guy gave these fish a chance to have a happy life. Either way Walmart is going to replace the fish, whether they die or are bought. At least these fish don’t have to suffer anymore. He did a good thing. Edit: Dear everyone replying to this, the point I was trying to make is that there is no way to stop everyone from buying fish from Walmart. Most of the people who buy fish there do not give a shit about fish, so they are going to continue to sell fish because they are going to continue making profit. Generally most people do not think of fish as pets, and rather as decorations for their kids or their home, etc. And as for his tank I assumed it was just a temporary enclosure to make sure the fish aren’t sick and won’t kill his other fish, which you should do when buying fish from anywhere, it’s called a quarantine tank. And I have read the pinned comment I was just simply putting my opinion out there as there is no way to stop EVERYONE from buying fish from Walmart, or make their loss to profit ratio too great to stop sales.

he did a good thing for those fish but by buying them its allowing Walmart to buy more fish to abuse. If he really wanted to save them he would have complained and tell other people not to buy the fish so Walmart stops selling fish because there not profiting off of it. Logic

My children always want to see them and talk to them, and they always get sad when they see the dead ones and the Betas in those tiny cups.

[@limeproductions7873]

Brandy Burnette it's sad but buying them is actually the worst thing you can do for them because they obviously only care about the money and by buying these fish you support the cycle of abuse. As horrible as it is... it's better to leave them there otherwise the message you're sending by buying them out of pity will basically be: "It doesn't matter how hard you abuse your fish we'll still give you money for them." It's sad but it's true cause those large companies literally only care about profit and if we keep giving them the money they want out of pity for the abused fish the cycle will never stop!

Hugo Cornellier this guy knows what he’s doing. The reason why the beta was in there with them and not attacking was because those were not goldfish, they were smaller and are similar to glofish just not neon. Glofish are compatible with beats and they get along just fine. There are a few types of smaller fish betas seem to not attack. So don’t worry all the fish are fine 😄

I go to somewhere else for some irrational chores, then went home found out my lil sister bought a red halfmoon betta from my uncle. She was named Dumbo. At first Dumbo was calm to the goldfish as it is when in their instincts, fish can't be certain where they are in. Curiosity springs her in when. Kingyo found out another tankmate, which is that betta. I accept my sister that this fish will stay there. Thing went smoothly. But a few days later, my goldfish had both his eyes ripped off and some scales out. I really knew this would happen so I tell my sis to never bring bettas again until she owns herself a bowl. Female bettas can get along each other as long as different species can't be placed into their territory. Bettas are like Oscars, they simply can't be messed with.

Admittedly they did have a couple of floor to ceiling cages, which had around 100+ budgies etc in, but the larger birds were cramped up. What I don't get is how it is still legal to put pets in such small places. There should be a law to say that animals can be kept in a minimum size of tank or cage etc, which is actually comfortable for them.

It's a very successful corporate machine which has made it the largest retailer in the world. Unfortunately plants, fish and everything else are just treated as Freight. We have had our betta salesman threaten to no longer sell to us. It doesn't help that the tanks are mass stocked and who knows what we're getting Walmart buys the cheapest so that you can buy the cheapest.

I admire your kind heart bro, I really do. But by buying all the fish so they could be cared for properly, you're just actually supporting the store by letting them replenish their stocks and furthermore abuse more fish. In my opinion, don't do it bro. Let their lives have more meaning by not buying them, so that stores like that couldn't replenish their stocks until they won't have fish to sell anymore.

@Anime Shaun To be fair, most if not all pet stores keep at least 6-7 goldfish in just a 20 gal, and it's supposed to be like 20 gallons, and then 7-8 more for each additional goldfish, so those small tanks aren't a big issue, unless of course it's a tank at Walmart, since the employees aren't trained in aquatic care, so the fish are taken care of extremely poorly. Smaller tanks are definitely for the highly experienced, because they require way wayyy more care than a larger tank (Knowing of this since I have a 2.2 and a 2.5 gallon in pristine conditions, both with 2 fish in them.) It's all about the time and effort you're willing to put in, not always the tank size. However of course there's some truth to tank size. You can't justify a goldfish in a one gallon just because it's "healthy and well taken care of"

[@zuzannadziwulska2122]

It's for a News article

[@kierr8536]

Well yes and no.. mostly yes.. you're saving the fish in there but giving them like 200 dollars and they just fill the tanks back up.

[@3amhellbeast]

This isn't exactly a rescue... I've worked in retail for a pretty long time and the more you buy or the more interest there is in a product, or in this case the fish, the more likely that they'll just keep restocking them and buying more to sell. This may also encourage other Walmarts to start carrying fish as well because of the "high demand". This rescue does way more harm then good. If you really want to make a change don't be afraid to talk to the store manager or even go above them about the environments that these fish are being kept in and also offer to help educate them on how to take better care for these fish because most of the employees there probably don't really know anything about fish keeping. Try to get a hold of them on limiting the number of fish that they are selling. Basically get mad at them over this instead of just giving in and buying them to "save them" when they'll just keep selling them anyways. One of the best ways of speaking out against issues like this is to talk with your wallet. Make it known that you don't want to buy fish from them because they are not caring for their fish properly and even abusing them. If some of the fish you bought die, return them back to walmart and ask for a refund instead of disposing of them. Be loud and bold, don't be afraid to say that it's animal abuse. While it may not change every walmart, it may change that Walmart or at least make the staff and management realize that the way they treat those fish isn't humane and they may do something about it if they can. Not every chain or big named industry is bad... I've seen a lot of larger pet stores or chains who take great care of their fish and animals. But a lot of it just depends on the management and how educated they are and how much they care about the animals in their stores.

[@AveriPuff]

Did you read the description?

[@3amhellbeast]

If you are talking about the comment that he made AFTER I wrote this comment telling people not to make comments on this video about how this is not a rescue, please be aware of timestamps and that I posted this either before he made that comment or before he had edited his comment to tell people not to buy out fish from places who mistreats their fish and animals. Before I wrote this comment, he also never mentioned that this video would be featured in a news article to help raise awareness about how horribly Walmart treats their fish. However I will still stand by my post and say that this initially isn't a rescue because I don't want to encourage other people to think that buying out fish stocks is going to solve the problem. It's not... But I definitely support the direction that Fishing Fantasy took with this video in a way that will hopefully hit Walmart where it hurts and will either prevent them from selling fish in the future or shape up when it comes to caring for their fish until they find new homes. I will also say that if there is a fish store, pet store, or even a Walmart that is mistreating their fish help put an end to it by writing, calling, or talking to their managers, CEO's, higher ups, or really anyone who is in power of the situation. Even mentioning to an employee how bad of a condition the pets are kept in can maybe even make a difference. Or even better take pictures, videos, anything and post them online as evidence and who knows, all it takes is the right person to see it to put an end to this. If the pet is in dire need of care and you are able to help it, instead of just buying it talk to the managers about how you could care for that animal better then in a pet shop and make sure that they will not be gaining a profit from it (For a good example of one of these rescues check out Emzyotic's videos about her Red Hornbill Grinchy who was a wild caught bird that was then 'sold' at a pet store. No regular person could have taken care of Grinchy properly and it was even worse in a pet store as he had plucked out all of his primary feathers, refused to eat, and looked terrible from stress and also not properly being taken care of at the pet store that he was in. If it wasn't for EM who is a former zookeeper and animal educator, Grinchy would have died in that store. She had talked to and convinced the store to let her rescue him so long as they didn't make a profit and would never sell another wild caught bird again. She paid for the transportation costs and that was basically it as the store manager realized that Girinchy would die otherwise. Grinchy has come a long way since he was rescued and his story has made a huge impact for helping raise awareness about wild caught birds and rescuing other animals). Basically, I hope that this may help someone who is not quite sure what to do in a situation when it comes to the mistreatment of animals and pets in stores as this video may attract some people who want to do something to help and make a difference in a creature's live or the lives of many creatures. Especially when the worst thing that you can do is to just do nothing or continue to support companies that just see animals as a money maker and not as actual animals that need love, care, and affection (Food and water too of course!). I am quite lucky as where I live they don't sell fish in walmart and luckily pet stores have been scrutinized to the point in where they take great care of all of their pets and animals from what I have seen! But if I ever do see anything like the fish that were in Fishing Fantasy's videos I will be sure to make a fuss about it and do everything I can to stop it or raise as much awareness around the issue as possible until things change.
