Ok, I have no idea where I can get clove oil, but I have one fish who is now laying on his side. When i tapped the container, her literally swam in spirals. How can I let him go peacefully, with somethign I might have at home?


I don't have it in me to cut off his head

Well, try treating it first. It could be a swim bladder issue, try feeding him half of a pea, skinned and cooked in dechlorinated water, and fasting him. Also, try treating him first with macaryn, macaryn two, and if you can get it, colloidal silver. If you can't treat it, just make it as comfortable as possible. What kind of fish is it? If it is a surface breathing fish, lower the water level. If the fish can tolerate it, raise the temperature and add some salt. If the fish is not surface breathing, put in an airstone if you have one. It MIGHT make it. If you cannot get a hold of clove oil, some people say you can freeze the fish, but I wouldn't as I find it cruel. Give it a little time before you consider killing it, so you can know what it might have, or see if it dies on it's own.

He's gone.

This was the zebra danio that i'm 95% sure had fish TB. He stopped eating two days ago, was literally skin and bones, and starting yesterday, i noticed a spinal deformity.
