With the large numbers of fish keepers locally and our many auctions, It’s easy enough to sell or give away fish you no longer want even if they are not suitable for breeding, but what do you do with the runts or deformed ones that no one wants ? Or, if you know a fish is a gonner, and y’all know that, even though “hope springs eternal”...
Some of us have larger fish and the option of letting them “swim with Oscar” but the humane thing to do is to euthanize it.
I know one breeder that uses a blender and makes “fish food” but that has shades of “mad fish disease” for me. In the past I have placed culls in a shallow pan of water in the freezer. They say freezing is painless. Today I herd that carbonated water (soda water from the grocery store) works fine, and is painless. I suppose the C02 suffocates them.
So what do you do ?
