thedecider Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I get the ice from defrosting my freezer mix it with water to form a ice slurry then add fish seems quite effective anybody got more ethical ways to do this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana man Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Freezing them is a slow death if u want quick and effective decapition followed by rapid brain destruction is in my eyes the least painfil methoid for the fish. You must destroy the brain after decapiton. Also what are you killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heintz.G Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yeah, clove oil for bigger fish and a brick for the smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yeah, clove oil for bigger fish and a brick for the smaller ones. Or spare the bigger fish and just feed him the smaller ones. I often wish I had the spare tank and space for a big predator to act as my piscine grim reaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the other half your credit for the morning and then sneak out grab a new tank and set it up before she gets back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaholic99 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Put fish into a plastic fish bag (without water ) and swiftly slam against the concrete floor. This allows you to hit a fish hard and have no mess afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
