Killing fish
We were discussing the issue of humanely killing fish at work and one of
the guys here mentioned a way to euthenize fish. Instead of freezing or
using boiling water, how about using alcohol or some other substance that
would kill instantly? I know hard liquor maks my tongue go numb, so I
would imagine it would make the fish numb as well. Plus the alcohol would
kill them pretty instantaneous. I have never had the need to kill any
fish (they seem to be dying all on their own in my tank lately), so I
haven't had a chance to try this, but it might be like the gas chamber for
people. Please don't flame me, I am just offering a completely
unresearched idea.
