In the book Aquariology - Fish Diseases and Water Chemistry Dr. John B.
Gratzek suggests two methods to killing fish. One is pithing, which is the
severing of the spinal cord  with a sharp instrument. The second, and a
method I will continue to use when necessary, is an anesthetic overdose. In
this case two Alka-Seltzer tablets in 17 to 34 oz. of water will initially
anesthetize and eventually kill the fish.
