wyo sis said...: 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.; 6/16/12, 12:58 PM
KenK said...: 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.; 6/16/12, 2:33 PM
Pettifogger said...: 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.; 6/16/12, 3:49 PM
