I've never had to euthanize a SW fish, but I have decapitated a betta before. I've thought about freezing/cold water bath, but I keep getting images of Leonardi holding onto Kate Winslet's hand--seems like that would take too long. It seems as if the best method would be whatever is quickest, whether it be a rolling pin, cutting the head off, the car method, or the clove oil. How quickly does the clove oil work? If you want less of a hand's on approach, this seems to be the best way.

I do wonder how many of us just let the fish expire on its own when they know it's dying and there's nothing that can be done?
