flounders at WM???

[morales67]

Hi everyone. A few days ago, I was at Walmart an d went to the pets section, to where the fish were. I was looking around and I ,noticed something flat on the side of the tank and noticed it was a flounder!I looked around some more and there were many!! I always thought that these were brackish/saltwaterfish, but when I asked a worker, she (obviously) said that she was unsure, and that it may not require salt. the flounders LOOKED ok, but if i put one in all freshwater, will it die?

when i had fresh water fish i had a flounder. it was fine and lived a long time. so they must b fresh water ones too.

I know wal-mart quite well. Their employees don't know their stuff and they don't take good care of their fish. One day I was there and ALL their tiger barbs had ich. If you want a flounder, get it from a different fish store.
BTW: No offence to Wal-Mart, I just have strong opinions about fish-care.

Wal-Mart is actually scaling back on its fish sales, due to lack of fish market, so you may never see that again!
