[Meds081603]

Straight into the compost pile.

 

[Kevstir]

normally the bin.

last night was an exception though, i lost my 3" common bristlenose , he must have been dead for 2 days max( thought he was hiding in his cave), when i pulled him out the smell was enough to almost make me sick so toilet he went ..

 

[Straydum]

more than often, i can't even find the dead fish. not unless i open up my bichir

 

[GRJ]

I cant flush, i dont want to polluet the waterways more than they are already! I wrap the fishy in kithen paper and then put in the bin/trash. GRJ

 

[cheesy feet]

Bin it/bury it/ or flush it...Never leave them hanging around to long though

 

[dane261]

sounds cruel if the plecs aint had it it gets launched out the door on the grass out front

cheers dane

I said other because my LFS lets you give back the fish if it dies within 3 days, but if it is longer than that (since I can't vote twice) either flush it, trash it, or use it as compost like the fish you eat when you throw it away.

compost, into the garden it goes.
(although i suspect the cats may sometimes find them before the ants do...)

 

[KingofthePisces]

well what can i say... my 2 oscars in the garden they died so young

 

[Inchworm]

I flush mine or put it in a wastbasket.

 

[Azaezl]

Mine go in the bin outside, or on the rare occasion back to the lfs for a refund / replacement.

 

[madmom]

I voted other since I bury mine in my large houseplants.

 

[adamgreen240]

cremate it

i wouldnt like to do that!!

 

[SouthernCross]

I usually put it in one of those tiny little plastic bags so it doesn't smell, then put it in the garbage.

I often do that too, cos I like to look closely at it through the bag (I don't like directly touching the dead body) if I'm not sure what it died from, e.g. if I'm looking for parasites.

I once flushed a fish but it kept floating back to the surface.
