[rabbitlady]

ok, i have had the worst luck this last 3 weeks i want to thank you all for the help before but i got bad news.
my fish are dieing again this time no sickness signs just dieing.. so we are selling and takeing all the fish out of my tanks. cleaning and redo it all this time let them run for 8 weeks no fish sales ..

Hi walmartfish

I'm so sorry.

But IMHO you are doing the right thing by closing them down and starting again. It says a lot that Walmart will let you do that, rather than just make you continue to buy and sell fish.

Do you plan to do a fishless cycle, or use some of the fish to do it?

I hope we do continue to see you posting on the forum

 

[rabbitlady]

fishless cycle of course.. this is how we started out.. too..
we have the bio wheel system i love it ..
but i am sad.
i was hopeing that i had this taken care of. but like you said this is for the best..

I didn't think wal-mart knew about fishless cycling with ammonia. the guys at my local wal-mart tell everyone just to setup their tank and let it run empty for a week that'll magically cycle itself.

haha same here, although my walmart has 1/2 a wall with 5 kinds of fish, and bettas are on a whole different aisle.

Sorry to hear that your problem still exists. You are doing the right thing. I think that your participation here in the forum is a great thing. I think that anytime the suppliers and the consumers can get together and exchange points is a great step forward for everybody in the hobby. It can only be beneficial and hopefully it will continue. Hope to hear from you again, soon.
