i have a very big dying shubunkin that has both anchor worm and fungus. im planning to feed it to my other fish if it dies. can they get sick eating this fish?? :confused:
 
Yes sir, I gave one of my rarest pikes a sick tilipia and BAM internal parasite he got. It's not a good idea, trust me.
 
If there is no way to reverse the condition of the fish, then consider performing euthanasia on it with clove oil and dispose it properly by burying in the garden.

Never use a sick fish to feed your other fish.
 
Do you really want a decaying fish possibly stuck in your pipes?
Could be really nasty if you had to "fish" it out.....

Do yourself a favor and bury it outside or wrap it in plastic and throw it in the trash.

:iagree: There's not much effort in burying a goldy in soil.

They are excellent fertilizer for your garden or for house plants. Never feed a sick fish to your healthy ones!!!!
