Is it possible to feel affection for a fish?
Fish? Knish? Flush the fish; eat the knish.

ricpic, I have much affection for freshly caught, good tasting fish.

Fish can have their own little quirks.

Some you like.

I can understand this.

My daughter went into full meltdown when her goldfish died. we had to have a burial...no flushing. She was about 10 at the time. So, yes it's possible to feel affection for a fish.

Very nice. Me though i'd have buried him/her at the base of my favorite American Beauty bush. Sort of like a "living memorial" kind of thing.

Flushing a tropical fish is a bad idea. There is some risk of introducing disease into waterways. Just pitch it in the backyard and let nature take its course.

I think the majority of your reader demo may be too old and cranky for sweet reddit posts.

(Just sayin'... I have to go there for hours to rejuvenate after being here for 10 minutes....)
