"Hi my name is Chris from aquatic central here in San Francisco and on the web at aquatic hyphen central dot com. And today I like to talk to you about how to dispose of a goldfish that has died. I would say this is probably quite simple. The easiest way might be to place it in a plastic bag, tie the plastic bag shut and put it into the garbage can. Another way you might do this is to bury it in your yard or at a park if that's legal. A third way would probably be to place it into the compost bin. The most common way of goldfish and other fish are probably disposed of by flushing them down the toilet. I don't believe there's anything wrong with this, however it is not usually practiced in fish stores. There might be quite a smell after the fish has died so do dispose of it in a manner that it will be out of sight out of smell. And this is how you dispose of a goldfish that has died. My name is Chris from aquatic central here in San Francisco, and on the web at aquatic hyphen central dot com."
