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

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.

I went from not understanding fish death ('the store sold me junk fish!!'), to remorse ('Oh no, I killed another one!'), to sadness ('poor guy. He fought the good fight but just couldn't hang on'). Some of my fish seem to like me (or the food I bring!) while others act like I don't exist. With all the maintenance and expense that goes with a tank, I don't see how a person can be flippant about the pets inside the tank.

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.

I suppose what you do with with dead fish doesn't really matter as much as what you THINK of dead fish...

come get me tang police!
I think dead fish are gross, unless they are the eating kind.

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!!
