For methods and complete procedure, anne is the only one i know that is really into perserving fish like that. If its a larger fish you could see if you could find a good taxadermist.

If you end up screwing up the preservation, talk to necro. (the catfish guy), I believe he is VERY good with cleaning up the bones and putting them together. Its really quite amazing.
 
Thanks X24 so that's not just a pic NECRO got up there cool I will save them but I think necro's going to be bizzzzzzzy for awhile on his cat tank that thing is awesome!!!!!! I'll talk to anne as soon as I get back from vacation leaveing in the morning for at least a week or so go karts waterslids and beer!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still open to new suggestions or idea's just let me know also maybe a list of some Items I should get to start with ! Thank's everyone.
 
If the fish are that valuable to you, why not take them to the taxidermist and have them mounted? it'd be more expensive than jars and rubbing alcohol, but it would also be much better for display purposes.
 
I have a freezer full at work and 1/2 full at home. way to costly I've already talked to three differant guys and they dont think they can keep the color up in the bright salt water angels and triggers I want museum quality thanks though
