Humane way to put fish out of their misery?
All of the answers saying “flush it down the toilet” are absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry to hear about your fish. I agree with the clove oil. You should be able to find it at any drug store. It’s usually used as a toothache remedy. You will need some vodka, also. You must add the clove oil first, then once the fish is asleep you add the vodka. This site has the directions. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-most… “Unacceptable methods of euthanasia are: freezing, boiling, chopping, removing the fish from water, using a seltzer tablet, slamming, pithing, decapitating, or flushing down the toilet. These methods are slow, torturous, stressful or violent. Clove oil followed by vodka is both inexpensive and humane. The fish goes to sleep like we might before an operation, and simply doesn’t wake up.” – wisegeek.
