Don't waste your time and money. Go to a locally owned fish store and get healthier fish, probably for less money.
Most fish stores I know like to order on Tuesday and receive on Thursday and Friday, because Friday PM and all day Saturday are the busiest times. Sundays are pretty busy too.

I am unaware or when Wal-Mart gets there fish restocked and I dont think you should even buy fish from Wal-Mart. If you have a pet store nearby, it is much better to buy some guppies ( 'nor any fish ) at a pet store. Wal Mart's fish are often very sick and they do not care for them as much as most pet stores do. If you want healthy, happy, and long-living guppies, dont get 'em at Wal-Mart!!!

Wal-Mart's fish tend to be abused and/or neglected. One local store had a tank for Black Moors with 2 other smaller fish (no idea what they were) -- every Black Moor in there (8-12) had its fins ripped to shreds, some to the point where they had none. I'm sure this wasn't a 24-hour thing, they should have noticed -- or known better. Wal-Mart shouldn't be allowed to keep live animals. Or plants, for that matter.

. your best bet and your fishes best bet is to go somewhere other than Walmart. stores such as these do not care for their tanks properly and most of the time you will end up with ick or sick fish. try a local pet store, here they can teach you everything you need to know to keep your fish healthy and happy and they usually have a better variety of colour and species. when i say local pet store try to find one that is specialising in fish and not dogs, cats, and everything else under the sun. many of these places only sell fish for an attractant to lure you into their store in hopes you will buy some other type of pet and they usually don't know much about the fish they sell. this also insures you of the sex of the guppies so you dont end up with a bunch of babies swimming around that you weren't prepared for.

Ask the fish man next time you go there. I hate the way wal mart treats their bettas, everytime I go there I end up buying ALL of them, whether it's 3 or 15. :(

Id suggest going to a differernt store. Everytime I try a walmart store and Ive tried 4 different ones, Ive ended up wtih sick or dead fish, or starting a new bacteria in the tank. Ive noticed that when I go to buy fish there, there are usually dead ones in the tanks. Be careful. Ive had better luck at actual pet stores and the prices arent much different.

Each Wal-Mart store is different, depending upon location and the Distribution Center. The salespeople do not know when their shipment will come in, so you'll just have to be patient. Why don't you try calling your local store, and ask if their guppies have been delivered, instead of going there everyday?

Please don't buy animals from wal-mart. They treat them horribly. When's the last time you saw an employee working in the pet department? They don't. Someone dumps the fish into the tanks and thats it. No care. No maintenance. Just leave them in there until they are bought. DON'T BUY ANIMALS FROM WAL-MART.

they have good prices but there fish are poorly taken care of.
mine has peacock eels which only take live food , trying to feed them pellets. which they will die in a few weeks.
they have plecos with goldfish which dont mix
they have tiger barbs mixed with gouramis which is bad for the gouramis
usually once a week they stock but i wouldnt buy fish there.

Don't buy fish at Wal-Mart. Go to petco or petsmart. walmart has bad quality.
