RE: [Killietalk] Coca-Cola method

["David Lains" <david at zfin_org>]

Hello

For Tropical fish in a Laboratory setting ice baths (technically used for
immobilization) followed by the garbage disposal is an approved method.  We
need to be humane to the animals and keep the animal rights activists happy.

Best fishes
