my guppy died because it had some form of dropsy at about 7:10 this morning, I started to freeze it, after its frozen, what should I do with it? I alredy know that I cant flush it because that will spread disease, so if anyone has any sugestions besides flushing it, please tell me.

no you shouldnt flush them, especially if they died of disease
it could harm the eco system

You do not need to do anything with your dead fish, Once a fish has died you just get it out with a net and flush it down the toilet, I love my fish but this is the easiest way of disposing of them once they are dead, I suggest that you do a water change on your tank though, If your fish died of a disease it could either be the water quality that killed it or that it had an internal infection, Maybe put a carbon in your filter this will help clean toxins from your water. I hope your fish was dead before it was frozen, People do suggest this method to euthanize fish but it is really cruel, There is a way of naturally doing this with cloves, I would not want to be frozen to death...

When mine are too large to flush , I compost it. Put it right in the green bin , no funeral , no cremation service , no readings from the bible.
Flushing in municipal water won't contaminate anything , too much chlorine just think of all the steaming number 2's that go down there. Modern waste facilities take care of the disease.

Never heard it will spread a disease. It couldn't be no worse than waste going down the drain so just flush it. Or fry it.lol j/k But for real sorry to hear about your fish. I would flush it.

You can always just burry the little thing in the garden. it does not have to be deep in the ground. It will decompose and it will be good for the soil. Regards the the guppy..

Bury it under a scrub or tree in the yard and it will make good fertilizer to help things grow this spring.
Sorry about your fish, buts its in fishy heaven happy.

bury in the garden, or if you lack a garden, throw in the regular trash.
you are correct about the flushing.
