U FREAK OMG DISCUSTING lol j/k i can catch u some salt water natives LOL

how u doing it ? u boilng it an pulling the scales and flesh off?

Well, I first did it with boiling water, but the fish falls apart and if it doesn't, it falls apart when I take it out. This second skeleton is coming out much better just by pouring hot water over it and cutting the skin off. Then just tweezers to get the remaining meat off.

i have a collection in mky freezer sry you are so far its a nice collection

Thanks anyway

Too bad octopus dont have bones I have had an Australian blue ring in my freezer for about ten years now.I have been trying to find the solution that is used to preserve animals in jars and such,no luck so far,any advice,sorry if this derails.

you can freeze dry it that's about your only option with that one. The slower the freeze drying process the better it will come out.

or you could put it in a jar of formalin but eventually it will turn brownish yellow.

Too bad just tossed a 10 year old male frontosa with a huge hump and an 18" silver aro
Been in my freezer since last winter. Wife made me toss em before the hot weather comes.

I wish you still had that aro! Arowana, bichir, and other prehistoric fish interest me the most. If anyone has a ray that would be nice.

I'd love to, but 7' is a bit too big for me.

He's in Russia anyway. Without proper permits he cannot send it. As for doing stingrays, just remember just like sharks their skeletons are made completly of cartilage. That my friend is a-whole-nother level of skeletal articulation. Hope you have the means to do freeze dried specimens. Get some disection manuals that will show you almost exactly where the skeleton is so that you don't accidentally cut through it.
