@ lotsofbabies. I
How did they die? Old age?I'm one of the attached kind I lost my husband (favorite male guppy I had high hopes for) and mummy fish, my best breeder in the space of two days and cried, I have no issues getting rid of my babies I am culling as live food bit I don't wish to stand there and watch them being eaten
Aww I'm sorry! Those fish are awesome. I hope you can get some more that steal your heart like they did!Haven't managed to work that one out, mummy fish came out with what looked like a scratch on her side, was still swimming fine, eating etc, but I got up to find her dead and husband I'll never know. 2 separate tanks, everonevelse in both tanks was and has remained fine I just don't know.

The other day I lost a neon tetra. I scooped it out and placed it in the garbage without a second thought. Does that make me cruel or cold? I don't think so. I cared for that neon and didn't treat him any different to any of my other fish. He had a good life in a large tank, clean water and good food...
I suppose what you do with with dead fish doesn't really matter as much as what you THINK of dead fish...I've done that too mumma. Usually I 'bury' them by tossing dead fish into a bush near my back door. Why? I guess its because I'm a gardener and think dead fish make good fertilizer.
True, a lot of us think that way...I think dead fish are gross, unless they are the eating kind.
Awww! I think a bunch of us have a connection to some fish...Just having to euthanize my only female platy just now I am rather sad. Although I only had her a few months I did feel a connection with her.... More than a couple of my mollies. I have her wrapped in a bag in the freezer and will buy a plant to bury her in this week... :-(

Nice. Alright, I think that this thread is now getting a bit off topic, and is not used much. I will no longer respond to this thread. If a moderator sees this post, you can close this thread. Thank you all for your feedback!!I have 2 batches from her... 11 wks & 7 wks..

However to say that spending 50 bucks on theyre environment says to me its more the spending emotion as opposed to feeling sad because your fish died to me a 2$ guppy wouldnt upset me nearly as much as 120$ discus purely because of the 118$ difference
