fish euthanasia
Alright, I've pretty much given up hope on one of my pond goldfish on ever
getting better, so I moved him into an indoor tank (after acclimating him to the temp change) and waited a week for what I assume to be a severe slim bladder disorder to heal. He was laying either on the top or bottom of the pond, moving only when prodded and gasping for breath while the rest of his pond mates seemed fine. I figured it would be easier to treat him inside, in my hospital tank, but so far no luck. All my past experience for what I assume to be dropsy (bulging scales, inability to swim rightside up or maintain balance) the fish has either healed under treatment within a week or died. This fish just won't do either though... I've also fed him a thawed out pea just in case as well. I feel that his options are pretty much gone and I'm not really interested in seeing how long he can prolong his suffering, so my main question is the best way to go about "ending" it for him. I realize how stupid this might sound, but I rather liked this fish and have had him in my pond for three years so I want to do this as quickly as I can. Any opinions? Or have there been personally experienced cases where your own fish survived over a week in this conditition to make a recovery? I'll cross-post since this is a pond fish too, thanks in advance! --Ryan |

@trndny05: Any opinions? Depending on the size, either a big kitchen knife or an axe... :/ I had to use an axe on the last fish I had to put down. -- http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=moosespet |

It really is a problem because fish tend to die so terribly slowly. I know the best way to end it, but no way would I be able to do that. Usually I don't have the courage to do anything and that's the cruelest non-solution of all. I've seen a fish take more than a week to slowly die and of course I read all sorts of silly accusatory messages in their pathetic little clouded eyes. If I were braver and more considerate of the fish than I am of my own selfish feelings, I would remove them with a little tank water and perhaps add a little alcohol to the water and/or the freezer. Just typing this makes me squirm. I know, I know, the guillotine is kinder, but I can't. Ruth Kazez |

It's hard to understand how "off with the head" could be fast or humane. I've seen fish heads gasping for what seemed like hours (but I was a kid at the time, so might have been just a few minutes). Now, a completely untested method I was told about last summer was "vodka in the gills, then off with the head". Seems like a waste of alcohol to me. -- derek |

Years ago, I bought a small bottle of MS-222 / Finquel / Tricaine Methanesulfonate (a fish anesthetic) for this purpose. Knock the fish out using the "sleep" dose, then add a large overdose to finish the job. Kind of expensive up front (around $50, IIRC), but I figure I'm going to be dead and gone before I use up the one bottle I have, and I like to know I'm not botching the job. |

Just because air has more oxygen than water doesn't mean that they can utilize it better. Gills not only act as oxygen exchangers, but also eliminate toxins, such as ammonia, from the blood. They need water in order to function properly. When they are denied water, ammonia will build up in the blood very rapidly, killing the fish. |

My Pleco laid on the front room floor for hours and had the cats playing with him before we found him. We thought he was a goner, but we put him back in the tank anyhow. That night when we got home, he was breathing. For an entire week he just sat there growing fungus and gasping. He lost his fins and scales and was really a miserable looking wretch. But he healed, grew back most of his fins, and today enjoys a leasurely existance in EthelMs botanical garden in Henderson, Nevada. I'm not sure about goldfish, but some fish can live for hours or days out of the water. |
Thanks for the suggestions folks, I figured the best and fastest way to do
it was with the chinese butcher knife and to my surprise it was very fast for the fish and I kept all digits. I'm not sure about the leaving it out to try thing or the other "inventive" suggestions, but the anesthetic idea's piqued my interest and I may buy some in the future and try it out. ---Ryan |

Well...the deed's done now, but my vote would have been for a small amount of
water and a blender. Ought to be real quick, plus you can use the mixture for fertalizer later. |

You're missing the point. The guy said his fish was nearly dead. If that is the case, it certainly is not going to linger long after pulling it out of the water. |

It is a method I have used, but some people here think it is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment. |

Although the goat tasted good, I believe the experience did detract from the flavor. |
