    Goldfish Disposal

    My sister has this very sick large goldfish with tooth. Its about 15 years old now and has had a really good life. I think its swim bladder has gone as it hangs on to dear life to the pump before floating to the top at a very odd angle. She feels it is suffering. She phoned the vet and he said not to bring it there. So what should she do?

    Suggestions so far:-

    Flush it down the loo! Too big!

    Pull it backwards! Dee just cant do it.

    Leave it on the side to dry out? No she cant do that either.

    Feed it to the cat! Cat has no teeth so it will be sucked to death.

    Shoot it! No gun.

    The only suggestion i can make to her is take it out the tank, put in on the drive and run it over. Dee is having none of this.

    So what can any of you suggest?

    Pour some bleach in the tank. It'll do for the fish and give the tank a nice clean.. which it probably needs.

    How about you get him stuffed with a tape player (a small one obviously) and you can have your own homemade singing billy bass thing to hang on on the wall and impress visitors?

    Throw it in a stream? It'll die free at least, and presumably help feed other fishies?

    I agree with WB, you girls are doing a serious amount of animal disposal - Xmas animal springclean or what?

    Just think yourself lucky you don't live with them. I can just see the thread now:
    DJ Disposal
    Does anyone want to give a home to a slightly used cerocer? Reasonably house trained. Tends to be a bit grumpy and go on at length about... well... anything. May become rather vicious if you step back on the left foot. Will create a stink if you mention competitions. Likes to have his avatar changed regularly. Begs for rep in a most endearing manner.
