Not necessarily - it would be similar to a large blow on the head....I
would imagine with a large enough fish it would be quick and painless but
not an option I would chose....I prefer the mixing of alcohol in with the
water....I would also try clove oil if I could remember to buy it whenever
I pass a chemist/health food shop....I could never do the beheading
bit....I've read that freezing is also quite a nasty way to go....
========================
The differences of opinion out there on the net are amazing! :-) That's
why I have the small tank where they can pass away naturally in a pleasant
environment. I wont kill them because I have no way to judge what is and
isn't painless for them.
