Fish Pod Endorsed By The Canadian Government

The government of Alberta, Canada endorses the Fish Pod / Pet Fish Casket. Their Campaign entitled, “Don’t Let It Loose!” teaches people to be responsible pet fish owners. The campaign is to educate people about the dangers of flushing Goldfish or releasing them into the wild. There is an epidemic of invasive goldfish changing the environment in the Great Lakes and inland lakes / rivers across the U.S. and Canada.

Flushed Pet Goldfish, Bettas, and others contaminate fresh waters where wild fish are living. Adding dead fish to clean waters is dangerous.

Flushing Pet Fish Is Harmful For The Ecosystem

The practice of immediately using the toilet to get rid of pet fish is a problem to our environment. You can be a good steward by helping to educate a family or friend who have pet fish. Buy them a GoldFish Pod as a gift in advance of the death of a pet fish. The Fish Pod / pet fish casket is not just for children; it is for responsible adults who care about the world we all have to share.

How to Bury a Pet Fish Casket

Step 1:

Find a place suitable for burying your pet fish casket. Many people choose a place by a tree, or in their garden with a small grave marker.

Step 2:

Dig a hole at least the width and length of your pet casket. Also make sure that the top of the pet coffin is at least 2 feet below ground level.

Step 3:

Gently place your pet casket into the grave, verifying it is 2 feet below ground level. (This is to ensure that wild animals do not get curious and attempt to investigate)

Step 4:

Replace the removed soil, and place the perennial wildflowers seeded leaf 3-4 inches below surface. Mound the soil up over top of the pet grave, as the ground will settle over time.

We just laid our beloved Betta fish Sammy to rest in his little fish pod this evening.The fish pod helped us give Sammy a dignified send off and I'm so glad that it was able to arrive as fast as it did. Sammy passed away suddenly at the ripe old age of 4.I love you Sammy.

I ordered this once before with no problem, but the second time I ordered it, I received an empty plastic case. I hadn’t opened the package right away and now it is past the return date.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too small for goldfish - don’t make my mistake
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021
This pod needs more precise inner dimensions listed. It states that it fits goldfish (as well as a few other types of fish), but it would only fit a very young goldfish. The dimensions of the inside are approximately 2.75 inches by 1.75 inches oval shaped. The pod itself is well made, but since it was listed for goldfish - which obviously won’t fit. If the inside dimensions were clear, I would not have bought it. If you have a guppy or other small fish, then I’d recommend it!
