And beyond! 20/25 is not unusual in ponds. 16 is a good innings in an aquarium though!

What are you gonna do about disposing of the body, the way I see it you have a few options.

1) The classic flush down the toilet.

2) Feed it to neighbours cat, waste not want not.

3) Stitch one of your mates up and hide it on a radiator around their house.

Your not kidding, i had to wash and shampoo another old pet this morning! To be fair though he just sat there and let me get on with it, seemed quite happy that id washed him tbh!

I was still up at 7am mopping up his mess though

To tell the truth its been bloody hard work looking after the dog this week. Some mornings ive been up at 5am cleaning up after him, ive had to wash his bedding twice now. Ive been following him round the garden cleaning up after him.

Ive actually been more tired this week than if i had been at work.

I'd go for burial at sea. Then you can remember Goldie every time you flush

Washing and shampooing the fish wouldnt have helped

shouldnt joke really, my 13 year old catfish died the other week, went to feed him, and there he was floating on the surface belly up

I burnt mine, in my chimnea, didnt watch it tho, didnt fancy smelling him cooking, couldnt bury him, my cat would have ate him

he was about 13" long, and his head was about 3" wide

Gutted for you mate. It's tragic when you suffer such a great loss.

You have my sympathies.

RIP Goldfish
