This is an easy way ive heard of to put your fish to sleep. Put your fish in a small container with water and put it in the freezer. This is a good way because no matter how a fish dies it will encounter severe bladder and intestinal pain and suffer for hours, maybe even days before it finally sucumbs. Using the freezing method wont give them that pain.

I think and many others think aswell that freezing is completely unaceptable, it puts the fish through a long stressfull, painful ordeal and if your trying to do this humanly please don not freeze your fish.

Here are some good/bad ways to do it.

Freezing isnt long an painful at all. It simply triggers a hormone in the fish thats sends it in to hibernation.

Sorry - It may sound barbaric, but for a small fish like a neon, guppy or zebra size, that's obviously sick & suffering & meds didn't work, it's into a piece of paper towel and a very quick crush. I don't like doing it at all, but it's instant and it's the least painful method there is.
