How To Kill A Fish Painlessly And Quick

it is a pretty horrible issue and well done on doing what you could to make this as simple as you could.

I cannot believe it cost £50!! My friend was £5.50 for a hamster to get done at a normal vets...

but anyway, my own personl method is... well they have died in my vain attempts to help them recover before ive managed to help them onto the next stage of not recovering. But I have everything there - a board and an extremely sharp scalpel blade n handle. slice through the brain.
 
Killing fish. :( Well, you learn the best way to do it quickly by a fish monger. Blunt force trauma to the head will do it. If you ever watch someone clean a live fish, you'll know the fish is dead once he takes the hammer to the brains of it.
 
Well he's gone now, he's all ok. Well done for having the courage to help him, that was very brave of you.

If you want to read anything about the happiness and euphoria people feel when hypothermia sets in, try reading the chapter on Mt Washington in "A Walk In The Woods" he does a whole section on the odd way people behave, so I would imagine it was a very peaceful and calm way for your little one to go.

Hugs to you.
 
The easiest, and most effective way, is to chop it's head off.. I know the fish is already dead.. but in the future, just chop it's head off.. cold water is not going to kill the fish immediately or painlessly.
