hes sick and all the fish keep eating off all of his scales. hes kind of suffering i think. how should i euthanize him? i dont have any weird ingredients to "poison" him with..any other options that dont require me going to the store to do it nicely?


catch em, put em in a cup, dump the cup down 3 stories onto cement?
freeze him?

not trying to sound cruel but yeah...
 
Put him in cup of water and into freezer. I heard it put them to sleep.
 
A cup of water and ice, it will shock his system and he will die instantly
 
wait, so i just wanna make sure the process is right.

get a cup full of water and put ice cubes in it, and then put the tiger barb in there? i dont want him to suffer so yeah...

anyone know the reason for the fish eating his scales off?
 
Turn your hot water on full blast and put him under for a sec and done deal used to do it with gold fish for a snake
 
did some further research..gonna try the ice/water method


ok i just did it.. got a bucket, filled it with all the ice i had, and put the poor little guy in there..

almost instantly he went into shock and shook really fast..his fins were movin very slowly for prob 10 seconds after. i feel bad :/ all 8 of my barbs, 1 platy, and 1 neon are all dead now

take him outside and throw him as hard as you can on a hard surface. Kills them instantly.

i've fished with some pretty cruel people and i can say for sure that doesn't always work.
