To kill?

Jvilla58 · Dec 18, 2014

Fish is in death bed. Do you kill it or let nature take its course?

Tough one, maybe theres a .00001% he'll make it. What happened?

ericta000 · Dec 18, 2014

what kind of fish it is???? Good luck btw

Adrock · Dec 18, 2014

what would be the method of extermination , I feel that is the real question

Jvilla58 · Dec 18, 2014

I would be using near freezing water. I don't have clove oil.
It was an angle fish. These expensive fish keep dying on me.

I usually wait till their last breathe but thats just me...

Adrock · Dec 18, 2014

freezing or cold water is painful just like in humans

Jvilla58 · Dec 18, 2014

I guess that is true. I will just let him die in the qt.

Not to be a dick, but figure out what you are doing wrong before you go and buy another one.

What do you guys do you do in your shop when a specimen is on it's way to meet it's maker?

Adrock · Dec 18, 2014

use a product called tranquil to euthanize its a basic anesthesia for fish you just od them and they go to sleep forever

was it a male fish and the female pair is nagging it to death? I know the feeling. put it out of its misery.

BTW, do you know why men die first?

cut it's head off...

i don't know what you guys do, fish are so hard to kill IMO... if the fish died once, i wouldn't try it again... that fish could've been alive in someone else's tank all happy... people with "tanks of death" need to figure out what's doing all the death first... way before buying the fish... it's not just wasting money, it's killing a living creature...

i remove them from my tank and place them in a small bucket of tank water. I then place the bucket in the freezer and let it freeze to death. I dont know how much pain that would be but its frozen in an hour. not shocked cold at least

Dick, you said it… .jk

Jvilla58 · Dec 18, 2014

This is only my second death so I wouldn't say it is the tank of death?

mark.a.smith405 · Dec 18, 2014

I wouldn't say so either. Sometimes you'll get a fish from the LFS sick or unhealthy and no matter how you try there is no saving it. Usually visual observation, make sure it's not scratching or scraping against rocks, ask to see that it's eating, no visual pests or diseases can help to eliminate but it's impossible to know for sure if the fish is 100% healthy. Unless you stick your D in it of course. Instantly clears fish of all disease.
