I've heard of alka seltzer. Shuts them down within seconds.

Hholly said:Tarpon, I don't get why you want to make the OP feel worse than she already does. It serves no purpose. She did the euthanasia in the most humane way she felt she could. What's done, is done. She doesn't need to be judged for it. If you want to debate methods of euthanasia, maybe you should start your own thread.
I've never heard of that one...how much of an overdose does that take?
As rule i add ten drops and wait 10mins, i then add another 10 drops and again wait 10mins, if there is no gill movement after another 10mins then thats it, this is normally enough for a platy sized fish, for larger i use the 10min / 10 drops rule, until its passed away.
