how do you humanly euphonize a fish? i have a clown that is having some major problems and i think the best thing would be to euphonize him.

In the freezer with a bit of tank water.

Clove oil (puts them to sleep) and then alcohol, from what I read. I have to do the same thing to my clown, he is screwed

Do a search on "euthanize" and "fish" in google, should find some articles.

Freezer doesn't kill them fast apparently....

if your not saving them for a trophy mont, chop thier heads off and be done with it, most of the ways mentioned are nothing but a slow death....
Would you want to have your last hours freezing your ass off in the freezer, or crying your eyes out from clove oil, sometimes what "some" call barbaric means, are in reality a quick and painless means to an end.....

Last hours? You've never culled much have you?

Fish in minimal quantities of water - into the freezer - are dead in very short order (but don't forget about them, wives tend to object to fish-sicles). And they don't generally freak out, they are cold blooded - as they get cold they just start getting real slow - then they stop breathing. Done.

Culling FW angels lately, I've taken on a friends tactic - straight into a bucket of ice/water. Dead in seconds.
