whats the best way to kill a fish?

Question

there tropical fish btw

Answer 1

I suppose, hope anyhow that your are asking for the best way to put a pet fish out of its misery. There are three methods that I think are probably the most humane and most likely the easiest for the owner to stomach. The first is an overdose of fish anesthetic. This is known at chemical supply stores as MS-222, tricaine methanesulfonate, Ethyl 3-aminobenzoate, or methanesulfonic acid salt. Mix 350 mg of this per liter of water in the container you plan to put the fish in to be euthanized and immerse the fish for roughly 10 minutes. This should end the suffering. Another method is to place the fish to be euthanised in a a shallow container of water and add alka seltzer to the water. Try and place the tablets as close to the gills as possible and the fish will drift away. The lasyt method is to make a 1:5 solution of grain alchohol to water and immerse the fish in it. The fish will essentially overdose on the alchohol and as with the other methods they will pass away peacefully.

Answer 2

Humane way-

put like 2 inches of water in a gallon freezer bag. Put in 2 spoons of baking soda. Swirl. Put the fish in it, zip it up and but in freezer immediately. The soda takes off the oxygen as the freezer slows down the breathing anyway, the dual effect makes the death quick and painless.
or
put fish in a bag, slam the bag hard on the ground once, put bag in freezer to make sure if fish is just knocked out, it dies in its sleep..

That's how i killed a bunch of fish I rescued once..and they all had eye rot.

the best way to humanely kill a fish instantly is to slice its spine, rite above the gill..if you dont want to physicall kill it, you can overdose it as someone had already mentioned, flush it, freeze it, chemically poison it (bleach), put it in salt water, feed it to a bigger fish, let it dry out..etc
