I just had to euthanize a couple of fish for the first time. I've had this 25 gallon tank for five years, and had to move it into another room recently. For some reason, the move seems to have caused one of my black skirt tetras to become a ruthless killer. In a matter of days he killed 6 zebra danios and 4 of his fellow black skirt tetras. There was just him and one very beat up other left.
Out of pity for the beat up one, I put him down and the killer also.
I used the clove oil method. I was very worried since it was my first time doing this. I’m happy to report it worked flawlessly. They seemed to be in no discomfort whatsoever. They just swam slower and slower until they stopped, and then after about 6 or 7 minutes stopped breathing altogether. I left them in a couple hours to be sure.
For those of you who are unsure, as I was, I would definitely recommend this method.
