Tldr: Walmart getting rid of fish you might be able to get very cheap or free according to management at my store.
So according to a manager at the Walmart I work at (yes I know they don't take care of their fish I hate it too but it's the only place that would work around my college schedule) Walmarts Nationwide are stopping there sale of live fish. Or "live" fish I should say. our Walmart already has the fish on sale gouramis for example are $0.92 each at the moment. All betas are under two bucks. Almost all the fish are actually under two bucks now including Cory cats, rainbow fish, Oscars. Might be worth it to check with your local Walmart if you're willing to go through the process of quarantine and getting them all back healthy. I got myself a few fish to try to nurse back to health tonight normally $32 worth for about 10. Including the one sole surviving blue gourami. It honestly probably won't go best in my tank but I've seen people say online that they had success housing them with a lot of the stuff that I have so if it goes well it goes well if it doesn't I'll go to an actual mom and pop live fish store that we have about an hour from here and give them the gourami. Also according to management they want to tear the fish tanks out at the end of the month(next month at the latest) and any leftover fish will most likely be just given away for free....
