I froze my short bodied albino senegal when it died... I didn't want to let go (loved that damn fish). Eventually I realized that I had no reason to keep it and threw it away.

yeh im now leaning towards trying to strip the carcass down to a skeleton... apart from the ant hill thing...how else could i do this?

cheers,

dermestid beetles. a method that's more easily done by the non-scientist is to strip the flesh, then boil to remove the remainder of the flesh. keep an eye on deterioration so you can rearticulate the skeleton

then after the animal dies the body is just a object. What we enjoyed and loved is gone.

can't you put it in lime to strip the meat off the bones?

 

[latshki]

if you want just the sceliton put it in a bucket then get a bunch of mealies and just let them do the work and when your done in a week or 2 either feed the mealies to your fish or throw them out

Am I the only one who sees something wrong with having a frozen dead fish next to your leftovers, popsicles, and frozen pizzas? Or is that just cauz I'm a girl?

I have this problem too - and I live in an apartment complex so no garden to bury the fish in. We have woods out back just over the fence - usually they go to the hoard of raccoons we have. And sometimes *turns red* the bag we put them in gets stuck in a tree when we toss it... if only our neighbors knew what was IN those WalMart bags. HahHahhaaha...

To those of you who get the skeleton or the whole body preserved, what do you do with that? Put it on the wall?

that's nothing ...
I know of a regular food freezer with a beaver, racoon, and a hawk or owl or some bird like that...
These are going to become educational mountings.
