/an/, I want to know how you would kill your fish.

Two of my neon tetras are going to die, as identified and began to treat their sickness too late.

One started with mouth fungus- now both have growths in their tails, and one tail is deformed. The tetra with the deformed tail occasionally has spurts of energy, but returns to the bottom of the quarantine tank, while his buddy strains to remain horizontal.

Instead of prolonging their inevitable death, I would like to know how to kill them quickly and humanely, if anon has ever had to do this before.

Thank you, and also, in b4 "you're a horrible person who should never own fish".

Yes, I would never have thought of alcohol. Thank you, anon.

Do NOT put the fish in water and then place them in the freezer. They will freeze to death slowly. Ask anyone with frostbite how it feels to feel your body dying slowly in the cold. However, you CAN kill a fish quick and fairly painlessly by temperature change. Place a bowl of water in the freezer, check on it in an hour or so and when it starts to form ice on the top, then drop the fish in. The sudden temp change will kill them quick and easy like (Imagine jumping into a swimming pool in the middle of the winter. It knocks the breath out of you and immediately your body starts to fade. HUMANS can die in a matter of moments from being submerged in freezing water. Fish are much smaller and more delicate.)

Another way to do it would be drowning them in alcohol. As pure as you can get. Just say goodbye and drop them in and they will pass out, suffocate, and die pretty quick. Course, you'll be wasting good booze, so I wouldn't recommend this. Unless like.. You want to give them a viking funeral after..

Lets be honest here, Anon would never have figured it out if I didn't say it.

I actually was not expecting the freezer answer at all (thinking the first reply would be to flush them down the toilet) but they should be thanked for their suggestions nonetheless. I was preparing to rapidly immerse them in cold water before posting, but replaced water with alcohol instead; so, Viking funeral it is.

Too late, I'm afraid. Picture two dead neon tetras on their sides at the bottom of a glass, bellies touching, eyes staring up at you through vodka. So it was. I had already killed them by>>201306.

Which means : "so, Viking funeral it is." should be: "So, it was a Viking funeral." Fix'd.

You uh, burn them after they're dead. Thats what a viking funeral is. So, BURN THEM. Easy way: Light match. Drop match into glass. Proceed to send your little tetras off to Valhalla. Or did you dump them in the garbage or something? Also, in fish, is it gay when the bellies touch?

No, I flushed them down the toilet afterwards. It might be gay if they... spawned on each other, or something.

How hilarious would it be if I could convince anon that I actually set a glass of vodka on fire with fish in it without photographic evidence?

It wouldn't be hilarious at all, because we know you are lying.

At first I was surprised by a picture of a penis in OP post, but then I realized op means that he is a dick for taking poor care of his pets.
Anyway, the most humane way to kill a fish is either very quick beheading, or mixture of clover oil and water (clover oil is a powerful fish anathesetic, can be bought in most pharmacies as a toothake relief) and then adding alcohol as a killing agent. Alcohol alone would burn fish gills and cause suffering. Clover oil can kill alone, but is unreliable at that.

Tetra's suck.
We had like 5 or 6, and one of them was a bad-ass serial killer. He would bite and attack all of the others until they finally died in like a week.
badass motherucker.

What are you, some kind of a troll? Have you ever had frostbite? It only hurts *after* it thaws, but this fish never will.

Fish cannot produce body heat on their own.
They freeze as fast as the water does, unlike mammals.

Depends on the size of the fish. The smaller ones go to the corn snake, larger ones go to the carpet python.

gut it alive, then quickly behead it.

follow up with viking funeral. Bonus points if you construct small boats for them to burn on as they float down a river.

My friend who has a ton of fish would just freeze hers when they got sick.

i used to work in a fish department in a well known animal store and surprisingly the most humane way we found of killing injured and sick fish is to Microwave them, srsly! its alot more humane then freezing or cutting there heads off! Just put your sick fish in a microwave and zap for a few seconds! the radiation will kill there braincells instantly.

Protip: Dont microwave for longer then 10 seconds or it starts to smell

This would have been my suggestion. Have like a cheap electrical appliance that you don't want to use and drop it into the water, making sure you're at a safe distance when this happens; or plug something into the wall, where it's controlled by a light switch. I probably wouldn't recommend this myself, but it's an idea.
