How do you dispose of your monsterfish???

I burn their bodies so they can't come back as a zombie and chew my face off

Interesting topic. Would have helped when I lost my first flowerhorn 6 months back or so...my first fish also.

Normally I flush my dead fish...however, I burried him in the park. I am now thinking how it might be taking it to a taxidermist.... both of my current male flowerhorns, are probably in the top 10 in Australia... they cost me a fortune... I would not want their looks to go away...

Get lots of good photos ;-) Even paying for professional shots would be cheaper than taxidermist.
That's really expensive, at least around here.

Dead fish fertilizer my peach tree. gotta put rocks on top so a dog doesn't dig 'em up.

Most Taxidermist charge 15$-18$ per inch on fish, if you have a fish around 10 inches or less it would actually be reasonable to have one on your wall

that is real cheap. do they look very good?
I'd still rather have photos of aquarium fish alive in the water.

The fish I do are total cast and pour reproductions and look very real. Im not too sure how a Dempsey or some other mid sized SA would look but a full grown cichla or maybe even a ray would look cool mounted

I had to trash 2 12 inch oscars and some slightly smaller jd's and green terror when a storm knocked out power for a while.

I've actually checked into this.... They charge so much per inch, but have a high( $150or so) minimum charge.
