Default Don't flush those dead fish!

Put them to use! If you've got a big chain fish store in your area such as Petco, or PetSmart that has a return policy, you are in luck. Keep your dead fish on ice until you see a simular sized one in the chain store. Then buy its twin and return the frozen fish! Whalla! Free fish for life. By the way don't bother bringing in real tank water to get tested; bring tap water instead! Its sure to read acceptable levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate; pH is probably fine too!

Ok, this is another joke. I wouldn't recommend doing it if you have any integrity. Ok, maybe I've done it once or twice, but only because those chain store fish die so freakin' often, and I can't always get back to the store within the time alotted.

Don't do it! Its bad!

Oh please, I used to work for such a chain, and trust me, I hated you folk.

Even when the customer clearly killed their fish from stupidity (such as the case when an oscar got the crap beat out of it by a Jack Demsey and the ******* customer still instisted I give him a new oscar to try again with), the manager would always tell me just to give the person another fish simply to make them stop harassing me.

I'm glad I left. People who can be so cruel and heartless to fish don't deserve free ones.

Yeah you could do that noname... because you don't have to return the fish you got originally for another one of the same kind...

And besides, with me your theory would never work. I actually CHECK the dates on the reciepts
