so i've seen pictures of bichir skeletons and i think they look pretty cool. now i unfortunatly have a dead one. i was wondering if anyone knows the best way to turn a fish into a skeleton. should i leave it outside and let nature take its course? would there be anything left? any tips would be great thanks.
my bichir died. sad right? maybe not

gonna need to find a chemical solution that will deteriorate the cells and leave the skeleton maybe some sort of compound not sure
there is a guy that did this to a hogs head and put the steps on here look it up and u will know what to do

well i agree it was worded rather insensitivly but i was going for that so people would read it and help me figure out a way to preserve him longer. i cant have him living any longer however i can still keep him
They way they do hogs is to boil it in a water/bleach solution. But remeber a hogs head is big I dont know how it will work with the small soft bones or a fish. There is a company called skulls unlimited out of Oklahoma they use beatles and it work rather fast. Well anyway i would like to see some pics when you are done.

sniff sniff cry cry. people should stop crying over what other people chose to do with there fish. If its dead. Its dead.
Ide try boiling it in a mild bleach solution and watter. ide do it outside incase it stinks and fumes. Sit the pot on your grill fire that baby up.
