    My dead fish ritual.

    Gather the kids round.
    Scoop up said dead fish into best gravy jug.
    Transport solemnly to Water Closet.
    Gather around a CLEAN toilet.
    Bow heads.
    MAke sure to use fishes name and say a few nice words - a fish eulogy. Invite kids to say a word or two.
    A few moments silence.
    One last look for everyone gathered.
    Pour from jug to jacks.
    Cover with TP
    Who wants to flush?

    I killed a fish once when I was young. Put him in my bed cause the water in his tank was too cold.

    He died quickly and peacefully. there he was swimming round his bowl he then slowly turned upside down then one final flick of his tail then gone. the big question is how should i send him on his way to fishy heaven. flushing him down the toilet seems trashy.

    Serious coincidence - we had one died today - I'm going to try and replace him / her before the wee one notices. Very sad too - don't think it appropriate to laugh about it - any attempts at humour will only flounder!

    "Princess Peach? You said she was dead!"

    "No, what I said is that she sleeps with the fishes.."

    Best get a tortoise next time, longer lifespan than yourself means no more traumatic events like this one (unless you lose it that is).

    RIP to your erstwhile friend.

    Those warnings on fly spray are completely accurate. Cover fish bowls or everything that swims is gonna die.

    You could mix him in with some baby carrots and peas and serve him up to the unsuspecting guests.

    A day when one innocent little fish lost his life, he may be gone but he shall live on in our hearts.

    RIP little guy, you shall be missed. (Wipes away tear)

    Tie him to a firework rocket and light it. Much more exciting and plus its what he would have wanted. Giving a whole new meaning to the saying "going out with a bang!"

    Put a drop of whiskey in the fish bowl. A mate told me this before and it worked. It revived the goldfish.

    Sweet little fishy in his bowl
    Such a small thing with a great big sole.

    He swam around in his little glass space
    But now he's gone to a better plaice.

    At his loss we weep and whale
    and tell our grandkids his happy tail.

    On fish god hooks he did bite
    and from fishy heaven shines his ray of light.

    Fin...

    Requiem for a fish.

    Stop all the clocks, turn off the telephone.
    Stop the cat from eating Mr Fish, with some cheap whiskas chicken on the bone.

    "You said he was sleeping Dad", was the cry from young Darrcow.
    "You lied, you lied, he has died, he has died!".

    No more shall Mr Fish nibble on his fish flakes,
    He is gone now, forever swimming in circles on the great lakes.

    He said goodbye to Nemo, Nemo's Dad and Dory.
    As he faded from this world he smiled to himself, satisfied with his life story.

    With a flick of a fin and a twist of a tail,
    Mr Fish decided enough was enough and off on a journey he did set sail......
