i know it was the right decision, and i chose to do it via blunt force for his sake. i didn’t have clove oil and have heard too many conflicting stories that i wouldn’t trust myself to do it properly. i just couldn’t wait for him to get worse but i cant stop crying now at the thought that i hurt him. he was wrapped in a wet paper towel when i did it and i couldn’t bring myself to look at the damage so im almost worried that i didn’t get it hard enough. i also live in an apartment so i wasn’t able to dispose of him in any nice ceremonious way 🙁 rip leviathan you were the coolest lil dude. don’t have great photos of him but i think this one with my old mystery snail Lou is cute.

Oh what a handsome fish. I’m so sorry- I’m sure it went well for him.
I’m so sorry:( you did the right thing, I promise he felt nothing if you did it fast then he passed fast. My baby passed November 15th, I got a few plants as a memorial so it made me feel like I was still taking care of her, maybe that would help the grieving process?
Unless he is already gone, can you put him in a baggy in the freezer until you can give him a nice burial? If not, its all good. Thanks for helping him not suffer and giving him a good life, SIP Leviathan
I also live in an apartment (second floor) and could not bury my old man Tenzing when he passed away in June, just a month shy of 3 years with me. While I simply had to dispose of the body, what I did to remember him is print out one of my favorite photos and put in on the fridge in a magnetic frame as a memorial, so maybe you’d like to do something similar. SIP to your Leviathan ❤️🩹
