Nope, I just dumped him in the bin and gave my lunch box a good sterlising afterwards. I used to flush goldfish down the loo though as they go back to the sea then. When Connor was really small he kept on about having a goldfish in a bowl, I gave in and put it on a high shelf so he couldn't fetch it out or eat it or anything. Anyway he hardly took any notice of it but when it died I didn't have the heart to tell him so I put a bit of carrot in the bowl as you coudn't really tell the difference with it up high. I still fed that bit of carrot though. In the end when we moved I think he forgot he even had a goldfish/piece of carrot as a pet and the bowl was never unpacked.
