"Its not cruel and disgusting to flush a dead fish. Now if it was alive, then in would be very cruel. I had to flush my favorite fish. He was the 2nd closest pet to me, besides my rat. Its just about the safest thing you could do. If you burry a fish bugs or other animals may dig it up but I know lots of people who do this and haven't had it dug up. Theres nothing wrong with it, just make sure its deep enough and in an appropriate place so that nothing can get to it. You could also place him in a ziplock bag and put him in the trash can.  \nHonestly, burrying a fish is the last thing I would do. I wouldn't want to take a chance of my dogs or cats finding it and eating it. It could make them sick. But if you want to burry it thats your choice and good luck. \nI'm sorry you lost you fish. \nBTW- About the tank. I would dump the water out and then scrub the heck out of it with very hot water. They sell some specil cleaners at pet stores that are safe for  fish as long as you rinse everything before adding fish. \n"
