You can order MS-222, a fish anesthetic, and overdose the fish. This seems
more humane to me. It's available from Argent Chemicals,
http://www.argent-labs.com/ , under the name of finquel for about $10 (US)
per 5 gram bottle. I know this is off topic, but I would personally hate to
be killed in some of the recommended ways and feel this is a service to the
fish that grace our planted tanks.
