1. Prepare a container.
Choose a container that is large enough to hold the dead fish and some water. A small bowl or cup will suffice.
2. Add water to the container.
Fill the container with enough water to cover the dead fish.
3. Add baking soda.
Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the container. Baking soda will help to neutralize the pH of the water and prevent the growth of bacteria.
4. Stir the mixture.
Gently stir the mixture until the baking soda is dissolved.
5. Place the dead fish in the container.
Gently place the dead fish in the container.
6. Cover the container.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent odors from escaping.
7. Place the container in the freezer.
Place the container in the freezer and leave it there for at least 24 hours. Freezing the fish will help to kill any remaining bacteria.
8. Dispose of the dead fish.
After 24 hours, remove the container from the freezer and dispose of the dead fish in the trash.
9. Clean the container.
Wash the container thoroughly with soap and hot water before reusing it.
By following these steps, you can properly dispose of a dead betta fish and prevent the spread of disease.
