I just got home been away for the weekend and came home walked into my fishroom and my nose told me something was wrong as soon as i walked in there

I checked all my tanks they all looked fine and I walked to the back of the room 2 see and WHITE 110g. and I saw my EIGHT-TEEN INCH LONG Ornate bichir who I've personally had for 8yrs. (she was the SMALLEST ornate I had ever seen) in my life (i still have yet to see a smaller ornate than what she was) BIG HUGE FEATHERY GILLS LIKE A MUDPUPPY

WEDGED IN BETWEEN THE FRONT PANAL AND A FLOWER POT I HAVE IN THERE
looked like she was on her way up for air and got stuck in between the front glass and that damn flower pot

NOW I NEED SOME INFO ON GETTING FISH STUFFED BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY AM ABOUT TO GET ON THAT FIRST THING TOMMORROW MORNING
 
Google freeze dried taxidermy. The cost isn't much more, and it looks a lot better (plus it's easier to do for odd requests).

I'm sorry about your loss.
 
Not any taxidermist can do that... I know some taxidermists cant even mount bluefish.

Good luck, and i dont think my dad(taxidermist) could pull that one off, but he can mount the bluefish atleast.
 
Sorry for your loss. She looked like a beauty.
 
ooh trust me im pretty sure every one on here has had there share and im bearly new to this and i just had a couple of my fish die good thing just baby managuense cichlid
 
Hope you feel better soon, that's a tragic loss. Have you removed the flower pots or just moved them away from the glass?
