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

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....

Fishing Fantasy the pond seems a bit to small do. Remember they need 20 gallon per fish. I am glad you rescued them anyways

Fishing Fantasy i know poor fishes did eat enough

then why did you buy them..?

Lol

Yea I agree

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

@@klick7659 yeah we still didn't see anything in the news article or on the news for that the best ways trying to get animal rescue involved

Big logical mistake in your statement. Yes, they will replace the fish no matter if they were bought or died BUT if they die off without anyone purchasing them Walmart loses money. That‘s the catch.

They put those fish into a bigger Walmart upgrade.

@@jay13982 how

@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"

@@kristinayagmin5893 I have a Betta that stayed in my bowl barely bigger than the container they comes with, but don't worry I'm a experience fishkeeper, who cares about him not being able to swim freely, it's all about the *experience*

@@kristinayagmin5893 yes pet store kept their 10 goldfish in 20 gallons, but that's temporary, you don't go to buy a betta, see their container that they comes with and say "yep if pet store keep them in this container,I can do it too!" Please let that poor fish of yours have a bigger tank, I kept my Betta in a 3.5 gallons tank.

Brandy Burnette Actually, betas do ok in small cups. They don't need a large inviroment. I know it's sad, but they be ok!

@@carolinebolger6915 That is 100% not true Caroline. Betta require at very MINIMUM a 2.5 gallon heated, and filtered tank. I won't put mine in anything smaller than 5 gallons. Yes, a betta can technically survive in a cup, but it cannot thrive, and it is animal cruelty perpetuated by misinformation.

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!

I hate it for other reasons

Caitlyn Lynch I am sorry but I don’t get the hate. I have been going to wall mart and sam’s club all my life and I love then

Acdragonrider Videos are you fucking stupid, have you not seen the condition those fish were being kept in, they are fucking dead because the conditions are terrible and they probably dont feed them enough either. Dont give me that bullshit that they 'dont deserve the hate' they have clearly shown a lack of knowledge on how to keep fish and its borderline animal abuse

JiTaeKook_ i ship not necessarily i had a betta fish and I never had a heater for it and it lived very very long and never got a disease. It is preferable to have a heater for it since it is a tropical fish but they don’t need need it. Just wanted to say i didn’t have a heater for mine and it lived perfectly fine.

Kamila Pajserova Correct. Bettas thrive in 80 F degree or less weather and Goldfish in more than 60F .

@@kamilapajserova6938 yes there are cases where bettas can live in not heated waters- doesnt mean they prefer it. But you probably had taken care of your betta really good! How long did he live for?

JiTaeKook_ i ship he lived for almost 4 years.

can i mix heated water from my betta aquarium with some tetras? can tetras handle the water???

Hugo Cornellier I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that they were in the same tank.

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 😄

Bonsie Boo I wasn’t referring to their compatibility with other fish, I’ve kept them in communities too. I’m pretty sure we were both referring to the fact that betta’s need warm water, where as goldfish need cold.

Claire Louise and don’t forget the fact that goldfish are probably one of the filthiest aquarium fish you can keep and they give off so much ammonia even with a great filtration system that not many things can live with them.

@@AntonioAmador5236 ???? They are only the filthiest as they are very large and have no stomachs to store food, it automatically goes out. Only with good care will you get to see them live long. I have 4 goldfish and one grass carp, they are all the same age(10yo) and are doing fine.

Make a complaint if you see that please..

Plus, a betta is aggressive at any moment. Goldfish are calm fish, plus dirty for that matter.

@@zezekingyo2374 true

金魚ZeZeKingyo wrong! Betta fish can be with other fish and won't attack it just depends what fish as a matter of fact two femal betta fish can be in a tank together

Fandom Fancy they don't necessarily need a heater they just need to be kept in a nice calm and clean tank and if you keep there light on it warms up the whole tank

@@LILxEEZZYx2000 Bettas in nature are aggressive, again. One time, I have a goldfish named kingyo(I used that name, and it means goldfish in Japanese), he was always fun to see him graze on the bottom substrate and being bright as always. 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.

OverKiwi they survive in anything and there fish they don't have feelings we put them in tanks cause it makes us happy they don't care if they live in a toilet

Luke smith yes they do they’re animals that can feel they have needs the same way humans do

Naomi Fegan where talking about fish,if I stay a fish in the head it will move because of nervs if I stay a dog in the head it would run and cry because it has pain but fish don't

Luke smith lmao they feel pain like any other animal

No

I did too

You're crying over fish?

Yes

It made me uncomfortable watching the dead one get pushed around the tank by the other fish 😂 it's silly but it bothered me

I agree. When i bought my cockatiel, he was in a cage, not much bigger than a shoe box, with 3 cockatiels. There were birds, similar to macaws but smaller, that were in the same style cage and their crests touched the top of the cage and their tails the bottom. My cockatiel is now 8 years old and just as grumpy and unsociable as ever. I tried taming him for 2 years, everyday with no luck. Although he does know how to tell people to fuck off...

Well, beta fish so have to be kept separate, so the plastic cup thing is because of that. But literally every beta I've seen in any walmart is dead or sick, or starving. I've literally seen a dead beta with parasites swarming in the water around it. Had to go vomit it was so nasty. No food or care go into those betas.

@@gloomshroom7880 its indeed horrible what people do these days for money

>:o that’s y there aveirys pet shop should not sell birds

Yes, I get that Bettas need to be kept separate, but they can give them MUCH better accommodation, in with the other warm water fish maybe? One per tank? it isn't rocket science. Kristine, I agree. 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.

Feather Lily I agree #Fishsquad

Ranzeyy Gaming honestly if I was a kid and wanted to get a goldfish I would be sad. Like really sad.

Lol

honestly kids shouldn't be responsible for a living creature at that age.

dude who likes dinosuars a child shouldn’t own a fish. they’re way too complicated for children. their care is very complex.

You guys do realize most people who get fish for their kids also make sure their kids know to take care of it and check up on it. Only crackheads leave kids completely responsible for a life.

Not all of them, I'm pretty sure most Walmarts are slowly getting rid of them anyways

All 4 Wal-Marts closest to me don't have aquariums

The Walmart that was recently built near me has an aquarium section

I’ve never seen a Walmart with aquariums. I’ve seen them sell things FOR fish. But never have *actual* live fish.

Yes they do and its sad

It seems like their death rate surpasses their purchase rate. At least this way THESE fish don't have to succumb to the abuse and harmful tank environments. I feel you, honestly. I just don't think Wal Mart would stop. I do feel like they should not be keeping fish, it's so maddening. I hope you didn't take offense, I mean absolutely no harm.

I complain..mostly on twitter..my local Walmart does for the most part take better care of their fish than my local fish shop..but I want them to stop selling beta fish..so go to their twitter page and keep on and on..

Jedi Katie, sadly, that won’t be enough. There’s too many people that don’t know about the harsh conditions, and that’s how these stores make their money. Not from a bunch of UKpostsrs. I’d say the best thing to do is just support your local fish store. Anyways, that’s just my 2 cents.

Triple G my local fish store is just as bad.. I have a new Petco and the guys working there are all fish keepers..they keep the tanks lovely..they have a few betta in the tanks with the other fish it's how they were sold in the UK when I had fish there many years ago..

Galaxfied Diys I saw the same thing except it was a puffer tank at walmart. It was so dirty that I couldn’t even see into the tank.

Adrian Ajencu but then the fish stay being abused. Kinda hard not to wanna save them..

Hey btw I guessed you missed it but he said the exact same thing not to buy them but he said it was only because some news channel is like doing a report or whatever on it so yeah

Yeah but if you buy the fish, it creates a demand. Then even MORE fish get abused! It's hard to watch, but it's the lesser of two evils.

THANK YOU

@@zipitlockit3976 by being keep to a aquarium? Didn't know the word abuse changed

Did you read the description?

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.

zeaundra gayle no it shouldn’t. Give me one reason why.

Yeah but he is making a sacrifice on spending money to rescue the fish

Walmart will use that money to buy even more fish and put it in the same situation.

It's similar to buying a dog from a puppy mill to "rescue" it.

dumb ass he is buying the walmart fish in order to SAVE the fish

keep buying them. they'll just get more in. thank you for ur business!!

Hero Hour it's never going to end until more and more videos like these come out and expose them. We do what we can, when we can. There's a video by Taylor Dean where she bought 60 turtles on the side of the road just to save them. If you have any compassion we do what we can in that moment , even if to others may not be the ideal way, just to save lives. Goldfish live long, so they are in a happy place now.

It's called HOARDING and it's a sickness.

Hero Hour unless you're a licensed clinical professional, then you need to understand the issues of a true hoarder. There are various degrees and circumstances. Whether your a hobbyists or animal rights activists doesn't necessarily consider one a hoarder.

mastiff people Read "his" description. After "his" first video got 180K, he decided to make more and ask for more "LIKES". It's a scam and "he's" profiting off these videos for money to buy drugs. If you have 10 cats, then yes, I consider that hoarding. Do you need 100 goldfish? No. Is that hoarding? Close. Closer. Nutso

Exactly if fish sales are up chances are they will continue selling fish.

either way they’re gonna buy more. if these fish were to die in the store they would’ve bought more. at least these fish get a chance at life.

Well if they died they would’ve replaced them anyways, now that they’re with him they have a better chance to live out a full, and happing life. Walmart won’t stop selling fish anytime soon and they won’t promote selling them more just because 1 single Walmart sold all their fish.
