    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.

    Great idea but make sure it's a helium one otherwise it's just a dead fish tied to a ballon on the floor rotting

    Put him in your freezer. Future medical science may be able to revive him. I still have my goldfish frozen from when I was a child.

    I still miss him.

    I thought this was going to be a thread on the untimely passing of former Charlton Athletic defender Mark Fish.

    Instead it's full to the gills of puns relating to a goldfish dying
