I cant believe you just told someone to flush thier fish (ger87410) Did you know it takes them hours to die.. All those chemical burns And I really dont think a shredder is the humane way to put down a fish either.. Fish have feelings just like me and you. I cant believe you all say stuff like that..( I cant believe some one would give somebody advice like this.....Just flush it. It won't suffer down in the septic system more then a few minutes at best.) That isnt good advice at all.. Please dont flush a fish they are better ways to put a fish down..They are a very nice well written article on how to kill fish in the beginner section.. Please go read that before you drop one down a shredder or flush it down the toilet...
