I nearly froze to death once. It wasn't so bad after the cold feeling passed, I just kinda went numb and felt sleepy. The revival process is what can be described and bloody painful!! Trust me on this one..I can't play the piano these days.
The fish in the Obit I wrote was a yellow tang and we just did the flush job...he was already gone. Oskie

Oskie. I agree with what you say about freezing. I live in northern Canada and can defently testify that after the initial shock of cold, its not an unpleasent experience at all. Its even a warm feeling. Of course, that right before your body starts to shut down. Most "natural" ways of dying are like this. For example drowning isn't painful after about 30 seconds. Its more of a relaxed feeling. Similar with starving. Now for fish, I use the freezer.

Freezing a fish to deah IS the MOST humane way to destroy the animal. Period. End of discussion.
To do anything else like the things discussed in this thread is INHUMANE. Dont argue with me... I am always right. Just ask my wife! |

Actually what about using one of those heart stopping things that they use for cats and dogs when they need to be "put to sleep". I could handle that. Freezing them is a slow cold death.

Responses to this thread should be displayed as if to be the fast talking prescription commercial bylines. No one has ever really talked to a fish. At best only a hypothesis can be obtained or offered....happy reefkeeping..

hmm... so your saying as long as the end result of putting the animal down is achieved eh?
well then I guess a microwaving until it exploded would work! |

thats the worst thing you could possibly do!!! its a very painful death for the fish...I read it somewhere..... that it causes their cells to expand and its extremely painful. I'll see if i can find the article. |

It's an extremely peaceful way to go.... I read it somewhere...since they're cold blooded as the temp drops their metabolism stops and they die peacefully, long before their cells freeze.

I've seen live fish thrown in boiling water in restaurants.
The fish looked it died instantly.

are you serious? omg... freezing to death for a fish is the most humane way to go! Their metabolism slows down.. they go to sleep... they feel a feeling of peace and they die.
Cells expand? no way they contract! |

At trout farms, they require you to hit the fish over the head w/ a metal pipe as soon as the fish is caught. Those things start to spasm like crazy. I say freeze it and then put it in the garden as fertilizer. Kinda like what they do to humans!

Water expands....
Cells contract.... |

:P lol agreed, but the water INSIDE the cells expands so rupturing the cells. The cell membrane isn't strong enough to resist, in effect it causes the cell to expand!.
now no more technicalities!

turgor pressure would cause the water inside the cell to exit the semipermiable membrane of the cell wall long before it burst.

i've got a emperor that i've had for at least 8 years , he's gotta huge tumor on his face , i can't bring my self to euthanize him even though he takes away from the tank when you look at .
He eats like a pig and other wise seems okay. i've been tempted to take the fish and perform surgery on it but don't want to kill him in the process.....
