Fish Taxidermy FAQs

How do we taxidermy a fish?

Taxidermy for fish typically involves creating a detailed mold of the fish’s body and then hand-painting a fiberglass replica to match the fish’s natural colors. The skin is often preserved separately and applied over the mold. This process allows for a lifelike, durable display that captures the fish’s original appearance in remarkable detail.

How much does it cost to taxidermy a fish?

The cost to taxidermy a fish varies depending on its size, the complexity of the mount, and the taxidermist’s expertise. Additional charges may apply for custom bases, special poses, or detailed paintwork, often the total cost is typically between $300 and $1,000.

How to preserve a fish for taxidermy?

To preserve a fish for taxidermy, keep it cool and handle it with care to avoid damaging the scales. Place the fish in a plastic bag and store it in a freezer as soon as possible. If freezing isn’t an option, wrap it in a wet towel and keep it cool until it can be delivered to the taxidermist.

How to clean taxidermy fish?

To clean a taxidermy fish, gently dust it using a soft brush or a feather duster. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning products as they can damage the finish. For more stubborn dirt, a lightly dampened cloth can be used, but it’s crucial to avoid soaking the mount to preserve its appearance and longevity.

How long does it take to taxidermy a fish?

The time it takes to taxidermy a fish can vary, but the process generally takes several months. The actual time depends on the taxidermist’s workload, the complexity of the mount, and the drying and curing stages. On average, you can expect the process to take between 6 to 12 months from start to finish.
