Steve may be thinking about the recent years, when the trolls moved in....there was certainly some very good knowledge when the experts were still participating for sure. :neutral:

To be fair, I haven't been there recently, so maybe I'm out to lunch

:rofl:

Where'd you get that idea? You ever frozen to death?? :rolleyes:

aparently the lowering of the tempature acts like a anastetic and they just go to sleep...

thats what I have read anyways

Steve

Yeah, I used to think that, until I bought a live crab for food for a zebra moray. I wanted to freeze the crab, and put him in the deep freezer.

The next day he was still moving. It made me sick.

I use a boulder on anything I want to kill quickly now.........

Actually the fish remains breathing even while its cells and blood are forming ice crystals (eew!). Whether it is aware of this I don't know, I can't imagine that this feels all too great. I think this is the most humane for the person doing the killing: pop it in a baggie, fling it in the freezer and walk away.

One of the best methods I've heard of is to put the fish (or whatever creature you are trying to do in) in a bowl of very cold water. They instantly have a heart attack and all organs shut down and the critter is dead.

2 alka-seltzer in a liter of water is supposed to knock them out. Then hit them with the boulder!!

Be sure to pop them in a baggie before smashing with the boulder.
Less mess.

good point
