neanderthalman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 In the freezer in a bowl of tank water. As a fish's temperature drops, so does their metabolism. They feel no pain, just slow down until they stop. Link to comment

TriGun5312 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 This is a really funny thread, because yesterday we "had" to put a fish down. We have a 12g eclipse in my living room. This housed 1 crappy "tropical" FW fish. This is by far the most neglected tank in the house, since its the only FW tank an everyone hates it. We decided we would starve the fish to death and stop doing all water changes. This way, the fish dies and we get to set up another SW tank. Anyway, 1 month later, the damn fish is still alive... We get really impatient and decide that the stupid FW fish must die. We put it into a plastic cup full of water, then placed this cup outside sitting in a flower pot with a little gasoline in it. We then shot a roman candle at the pot of gas with the fish cup in it... anyway a bad A$$ end for a dumb A$$ fish. Another plus is that the 12g is ready for salt! Link to comment
