Can you save a big fish body from going bad after it dies?

its pretty messed up that the government can tell you what you can and cant keep in your tank, i do understand the devastation that a non native species can cause but its the responsibility of the aquarist and the one selling the fish not the government to dictate what you can and cant have. any how the way that they mount a fish is actually pretty cool look it up

Yes it is very possible I do some taxidermy work on my free time and I mounted my 11 inch Midas my 24 inch silver aro my 12 inch flowerhorn my 37 inch koi i caught from a pond near my house and my 16 inch royal clown knife (still in the process of finishing him)basically as soon as they die freeze them and then contact a taxidermist and they do the rest

It depends on how big the fish is or if its an animal depending on what type of animal it is that's what would depend on price for instance if you wanted a shoulder mount of a deer it would be 450 flat rate if you want a full body mount of a deer it would go to 850 due to all the extra work if it's a bird like a pheasant or crow or something along those lines it would be flat rate at 250 and the way it works for fish is you get charged by the inch I charge 10 bucks an inch so depending on how big the fish is that would be the price a 40 inch fish equals out to 400 dollars just so you get an idea I always discount for people I know and do all my friends stuff for free they just pay for the form and supplies I need to do it like eyes ear liners if it's an animal and if they want it on wood or a scenery whatever that cost
