Wow, I've been reading rec.ponds for about 4-5 years, had no idea it
was so bad. I honestly don't remember any flames, except for a
obnoxious guy a couple years back that was always going overboard with
the backwoods hardnose routine. Went by "Foxeye" or something like
that.

I also read about 12 other groups, I recognise you from a couple, by
far rec.ponds is the most docile and friendly.

I'm not real impressed with nedra all the time either, but you seem to
be really bent out of shape about it. Suggest you take a deep breath
and shake it off. Stress can kill! Ignore those who bug you.
Killfilters are your friend.

OTOH, didn't know re.aquaria existed, will probably read it for a
while now, thanks for the crosspost... how's that for a newsgroup
oddity? :-)

IMHO taking a fish out of water to put it out of misery would be akin to
tossing you into the pond and holding you under to end your suffering.

BV.


Would you rather that it languish for days in the pond until it dies? Oh,
and
last time I looked, fish were not people. Are you suggesting that they
are? Do
you eat fish? If so, does that make your a murderer?

Actually I hate seafood. Ick. So I am not a good person to ask this. I am
not saying the fish should be left to suffer. If the OP needs to end it's
suffering, I believe there are better ways, then suffocating the fish, as I
believe if you ended a human's life there are better ways then drowning
them.

I am also not suggesting fish are human, but that does not change the fact
that I would not knowably impose suffering any living thing where I can
avoid it.

BV.


By ending their suffering, you are doing them a service, not visa versa.

We are used to higher quality postings on alt.aquaria than what you
have so far produced.

If you are most interested in flaming than in serious discussion of
aquaria, I humbly suggest that you go to alt.flames.******s.

If the fish is floating on it's side and no remedies are helping it, it is
certainly not going to last very long out of water.

Perhaps, perhaps not. That's irrelevant. If the goal is to minimize the
suffering of the animal, then the best solution is to kill it
immediately, not to let it die relatively slowly in open air.
