Heartless cow LOL!
It's alright, i'll get my own back. I'm a fish and cat person. I don't care much for dogs. So when the dog dies i might just have a little chortle! Lol. I think i'd be subjected to a bout of eternal silent treatment. Mind you that sounds quite attractive. Lol.

no garbage!!... your pets deserve better.. bury (i do a burial at sea with the little guys)..... they'd do it for you...:hearts:
No they wouldn't. They'd just leave me to rot where I died, maybe have a nibble if they could. Come on, have you ever seen what they do to one of their tankmates when they die? Heartless bass turds, all of them...:)

My neighbours just eat them. They actually buy Redtail and other large specimens. Once the fish outgrow their 150 gallon, they feast!!!

Still better then most ppl just cramming a large fish into a small tank and expecting it to live there forever. Honestly imo, Amazon red tail cats shouldn't even be in the hobby do to most ppl not having a tank anywhere near large enough for em.

Say a few meaningful words, then throw it in the woods.
Along with burrying I've actually done that a few times,tossed the carcass in an area where I know it would feed the creatures of the night.Give it back to nature.

Exactly. I usually don't even step out the back door and hope it clears the fence.

Lately though, since all of my fish have integrated, my argenteus tetras have been relieving me of undertaker duties. The other day I found them "cleaning" up what was left of this tinfoil that apparently met some sort of demise.

Lol kind of nice when your fish do the work for ya. Just not so nice when they try to do it before it's dead.
