stagfest Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'm just curious as to what everyone here does with their dead fish? I've got a childhood memory of me burying a dead goldfish under a tree in the backyard!!! and then to my horror minutes later, next door neighbour's cat had the goldfish in her mouth!!! ... what do you with yours???

Other Ed Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Pop them in the freezer until bin night. I wouldnt feed a dead fish to a cat, it might make the cat sick. Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gutty Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 You guys go to way too much hassle........ Chuck it on the lawn, and leave it for the birds. Or throw it in the garden, plenty of nutritional value for your plants......... Digging holes.........bahahahahaha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots n all Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 l think everything has a use, even dead fish, so we feed ours to our chickens who then play a game of "Catch me if you can" as they run all over the yard with the prized dead fish in there beak and every other chicken following, hopefully the will give me an egg or two in return, so l guess you could say we eat them .....in around about way.

canerod Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 i usually put them in my porcelain fish bowl and the flush of fresh summer rains send them straight to fishy heaven. where they can swim with the mersey kippers and the lumpy turtles under the watchfull eye of the thunder gods.

katanaone Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 depending on reason of death i feed them to my Jags and wolfs, or put them on the garage (tin roof) for the birds. one of my mates leaves them outside his house in a used chinese food container that has a hole big enough for flies to get in and lay their eggs which later turn into maggots. then he seperates the maggots (yuck) from the rotten, smelly carcass and puts them in another container (old pepper bottle with fairly large sized holes in it) and puts them in a tank outside with a fine mesh lid when the maggots turn into flies he feeds them to his frogs. damn i'm getting hungry.

OziOscar Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Burial at sea with a 21 gun Harpic salute. :D Or it's too big, bagged, frozen and binned. I've already run out of space to hide dead bodies. <<evil smirk>> Cheers - OziOscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarvegorilla Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Well sometimes theres an autopsy. Can't be too careful. I really do need a better microscope though but can be a good chance to do a gill scrape or something. You just never know until you do....... It's also a good chance to find out a few things........ like why pictus spines get stuck in nets or how soft a bristlenoses bristles are. If it looks natural enough or not going to make it then I turn to nature. Mangrove Jack. I don't think they only eat healthy fish in wild.........

Pierced Soul Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Chuck em over the back fence unless their about 5" or more. then i freeze em and bin them. I must've thrown plenty of fish over there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarvegorilla Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Unless it really is something big.. sometimes you just leave it for the clean up crew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graceless Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 bin. every time. sometimes my cat will take them out. but i don't let him eat them cause i don't want the disease or whatever killed the fishies to spread. Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gutty Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I wouldn't be too concerned about cats etc picking up diseases off dead fish. Not an expert but i bet you'll find alot of fish diseases can't survive out of water, and i highly doubt 99% would affect a mamal anyway. When was the last time your cat got white spot ?? So many people told me not to eat my tank raised yabby for fear of poison/disease............It was yummy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
