I bury my fish/children! It seems most respectful (besides cremation and pet cemetarys for big fish), and flushing can release pathogens to the environment.
10 gallon saltwater
2 blue-legged hermit crabs
1 snail
2.5 gallon
2 khuli loach
1 albino longfin zebra danio
Love those bottom feeders!

I think burring the fish is better than throwing it into the trash or some place else. It was a living thing. Alot of fish become part of your family.

| I am apparently an emotionally shallow person. My fish are too big to flush so I wrap them up in a fashion to eliminate smell/bugs and toss them... Why do I feel like less of a man...

I only bury the very special ones. Tropicals generally get put in a bag and put into the trash. Flushing is a very bad idea - if for no other reason than that your local wastewater treatment guys will hate you forever. Those systems aren't meant for fish bones.

When my daughter was younger, we had burials with grave side services. Now that she's an adult, I can wrap them up, place in a ziploc bag and put it in the trash.
Let's swim with the fishes!
