What to do with the fish now?

Well the Beta fish living in our boys room the past 9 months has moved on. We thought it might be difficult to explain to our oldest son what happened and we were worried he would be heart broken. We sat him down told him that 'Beta Max got sick and died' and he just gave a blank stare. He sat for a second silent and then asked 'When can I get a new one?' - Unbelievable -

I suppose that it is great that it wasn't a big deal and that it didn't take to much explaining. I was shocked that he was really so unattached to his fish.

We buried him in my garden. My husband thought this gross but I assured him that it was great for the soil. The Indians used to bury dead fish in their fields consistently to improve the crops.

So: ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
