The clove oil is the humane way to go but if you don't have it quickly cutting off it's head is second best
 Clove oil is available in health food stores and I think everyone should have some in case of emergencies...

Here's something I got from another forum concerning freezing:
A large number of people are under the impression that freezing the fish is humane. It isn't. What happens first is that the fish can't properly take in oxygen. We might liken that to suffocation. As the temperature drops, the gills begin to freeze up (we might liken that to our lungs freezing). So as the fish gasps for air it cannot get, it dies in a cold, dark place. This is definitely not humane. Maybe the aquarist thinks it is okay, but it isn't, based upon when we know about fish. Freezing a fish is one of the most inhumane ways of putting down a fish. I think it became popular because the hobbyists, cowards some tend to be, would just rather pop the fish into the freezer and not have to look at the fish anymore. What they don't see is the suffering, suffocating fish in pain, taking up to 15 minutes to die as its gills freeze over and internal organs freeze and rupture.

you think poor fishy suffers when its head is cut off... Come on people ,its a fish...!!! When someone posts on here that they lost a fish.. The first thing I look for is "was it expensive" ?? if so then I think that sucks... but when someone says I lost my clown today and all these people post their condolences, I just laugh like this topic.. anyone who needs to put a fish to sleep is crazy... put it on the pavement and step on it.. if thats too gory for you, put it in a covered pot and shake like hell.... , even better the garberator!!!! thats my choice,,

When I said to cut off its head that is the best way I have ever done it.
When I tried clove oil once it just took forever and the fish was twitching and ect. I know there is something you can get from your vet, but now your just spending a pile off money and not all vets have it.

srsly? I'm sad you have no freezer, but that's besides the point If you are going to decapitate it QUICKLY then you will cause less trauma, but most people hesitate, stretching things out.

Has anyone here ever gone fishing and done anything other than a good clubbing to kill their fish? Do you carry clove oil in your tackle box? Why should 1 fish be any different than the other? I think humanely means as fast and painless as possible. Its a small fish, simply chop its head off with a cleaver, I promise you that little nemo wont even feel a thing.

I have dogs
 and I think the fastest way possible is the best way for the fish, just try and hit my dog in the head with a brick he would take that as a insult and remove your arm As long as its quick clubbing, head removal what ever, and you can "do it" have at er....
