The hot/cold water technique only works for very small fish. For larger fish it takes a long time for the temperature change to reach the brain, so while they may act "dazed" they are in fact suffering.

Google "fish euthanasia" for much better techniques if you have to do that.

As for what to do, I'd search around on the Internet and ask at your local pet stores to see if there are any aquarium clubs that are local to you. You can also ask at your local animal shelter/SPCA. Ask if they can take your fish, AND remember to ask if they can't, do they know anyone who can? Do they know any fish hobbyists who might want them? Ask your friends too...do they know anyone who keeps fish?

Is "Going to a zoo and having them put in a goldfish pond." out of the question? I'm not an expert AT ALL on fish, but I thought these type of fish were bottom feeders and pretty tough. But like I said, no expert here.

Either sell them or give them away, or kill them quickly. If you are in the Netherlands, you could try the phorum of

If not, I guess there are plenty of alternative
fora in your area. Is it an L-number? There people willing to drive a long way for 3 of those.


About the killing, there is much myth. The best is, literally, to cut their heads off. But be prepared to give a might saw cut with an armored catfish, because they are more resilient then they might appear.
