Euthanizing A Fish

I believe you are referring to cold water fish as opposed to tropical. Here's a few sites to support my information of it not being a viable or humane option for tropicals-

I've got a few more if needed from other sources. I don't mean to start a debate about this, I simply believe you have out of date or incorrect knowledge in regards to euthanizing tropical fish.

Good morning eco...

No, I'm specifically referring to one of Spencer Glass's books on "Livebearers". It's a T.F.H. Publication, Inc. book. T.F.H. is one of the largest publishers of pet literature. The book is one from the Basic Domestic Pet Library. It is older and likely out of print by now, but one that's recommended by the A.S.P.C.A.

I keep livebearers, specifically Fancy Guppies and have used the freezing method to put down old or very sick fish for several years.

Please don't be concerned about debating. If we all approached fishkeeping the same way, we wouldn't learn very much.

Thanks again,
