Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / April 2004Electric Blue Jack Dempsey
Anyone have one/them?? Any input, thinking of a single JD in a 30.... I said thinking about it.. There are some shops around town that have them for a 1.5" gorgeous colored JD for $30... but dang, that's $30.... I thought I'd wait a while and let them saturate the market.... Of course, when I saw it, I thought of JB.... he was the first to enlighten me...  SignatureRedForeman ©® Sorry about the troll, the ball is rolling there.... FYI, I saw JD's at WALMART for 5.99$CDN in montreal. They were about 2" long and they were beautiful ...Kodiak > Anyone have one/them?? Any input, thinking of a single JD in a 30....

Seen one on Aquabid the other night for around $30 USD... I know WalMart Canada often hsa some fish cheaper there than we see down in the US.. I believe Oscars are sold cheaper up there ( Damn I miss the GWN ) something like $5.99 C where as the local WallyWorld here sells Oscars for $9.97 USD.. Go figure...

I was shocked when I saw it for $29.99...

They changed it to 5.99 a week later. There are beautiful Bettas there for $2.67CDN, That would be like 1.50$US I can't understand how they can make a profit. ...Kodiak > > FYI, > > I saw JD's at WALMART for 5.99$CDN in montreal.

They don't, not on fish, and they don't care (they are 'lost leaders' to bring people in to buy food and accessories). There has to be something morally currupt about a business practice which kills live creatures to advance sales of merchandise. If the prices are higher in the states, is it because they are funneling it back into the care of the fish by training the staff and providing them with the tools and medications needed, or are they just lining their pockets faster? *sigh* NetMax > ...Kodiak > > > > FYI, > > > I saw JD's at WALMART for 5.99$CDN in montreal. <snip> About the only reason to buy fish from Wal Mart is that they often mislabel them and /or the staff can't tell one from the other, so you can occasionally get a $15 fish for .99 cents. On the other hand, fish from Wal Mart are frequently diseased. There are always dead fish in their tanks when I have passed by (as I often do when I'm in Wal-Mart for some other purpose, like my girlfriend dragged me there) and of the few times I have bought fish from them I'd say at least 1/3 had some kind of disease, in one case a very serious bacterial infection which killed a number of my fish.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Some were half eaten, but the ones that were still intact looked > REALLY nice :) I don't recall seeing Dempsey's here at Walmart.. The Bettas are sold here at Walmart for $3.97 USD... It goes with supply and demand. When it comes down to it, they don't pay very much for thier fish.. I would bet they pay about 25 to 50 cents a fish on the tropicals.. As far as the feeders go.. I bet they 50 cents per hundred.. Although Walmart is not to heavy in the fish market.. Strangely enough.. The Walmarts down here seem to get some very nice looking Oscars.. Who here is from the praries here? Tim... |
