What Do You Do With Your Dead Fish?

[guppy_man]

hi just wondering what you do with your dead fish i no its not a gr8 subject but i dont know wheather to
burry them or flush them down the toilet.

Neither - wrap'em and bin'em them.

Flussing is generally thought not to be a good idea - spreading potential disease and all that.

I throw them in the garbage. It isn't the best experience, but it has to be done one way or another

when i had a garden, i buried them out there, don't have a garden now though, so next time i loose one (hopefully not too soon!) i'll have to wrap and bin, or wrap, freeze and take to my dads and give him a proper little burial there (deep enough so the cat doesn't get him!)

It depends really, for me, anyway. I've flushed a few, as I know they can't really suffer after they are dead.

I buried an Oscar I had for almost 3 years. I made a little headstone with a Dremel tool and a rock and buried him in the garden. That was a long time ago and the spot is now over-ran with bushes.

It's a personal choice, I guess. Just don't try to flush a big one down the pot.....

I bury them all. My g-grandad was a keen gardener and he always told me when i was a young girl that the dead fish give the garden life and food so they will always be with us in the garden when we look at it.

I know its totally sappy but I get very attached to my fish. haha

Hmmm... I think I'll add mine to the compost pile, when it happens.

 

[Flumpus]

Eat 'em.

I would.. I have a moonlight at near my rose tree, 4 neons near my fuscia and danio in my tub lol

Eat 'em.

ahhhhhhh you just gave me shivers

Wrap them in tissue and put them in the bin.

Unless, their either very big or you got attached to them in which case I would bury them.

Well since i live in a scarsly populated area surrounded by trees, it it's a guppy i just chuck it as far as i can and te birds do te rest. Bigger fis, i bury.....

I make sushi. No not really, I was just kidding but seriously, I put them in a bag and throw in the trash can. From time to time I flush some of them down. And if I'm really attatched to a fish, I'll bury it.
