Never killed any of my pet fish on purpose.... I've killed alot fishing and doing research tho. Icey cooler is preferential IMO but I've been crucified for that opinion on other forums... I'd probably go cryogenics myself if I had to chose.
i have a 5 gallon bucket i call death row....when u mess up u get put in there for an extened amount of time...2 have died on it...
Chef, try iki jimi!!!
They dont even have enough time to react and it dont let the enzymes pump thru the system giving it more shelf life if you have to keep it in your freezer for any period of time!

Ok First things first rehoming yes by all means, but, why think of killing this fish. Simply because most fish stores would not want a real tough mean 14 inch butcher to be given to them to deal with the problem child.

I will have to look that up.
I kill fish purposely almost every 3 days (feeders or smelt). I have also once killed a problem pufferfish who killed over $400 dollars in other fish
Ok the fish in mind is one of my zebra tilapia.
I did a tank remodel session here in my restaurant where I moved my aro and my tsn to my 230 so as to make sure that they got food easily. I wanted to redo the 140g the aro was in with my parachromis fish but if I left the aro in there with them he would eat them as they are small yet. I moved the frontosa (5) from teh 140 aro tank to the 150 front colony to cut the aggression the one male was showing in the 140 and it has been all peace in the 150 as they all get along.
I moved my 4 zebra tilapia, 2 red devil and 3 red belly tilapia from the 300g to the 230g with the aro and tsn. The tsn was in the 300 with the other 9 fish, and I moved all my smaller african from the 230g to the 300g so that the aro could not eat them. I also moved all my africans from my 180 to the 300g so that I could turn the 180 into my eartheater / severum tank.
In the 230g chicken skin the adult red devil started it off by goin at one of the zebra, yet in the 300g no issues. So I netted chicken skin and gave him a good talking to as I held the net to the side of the tank looking him in the eye and then I dropped him into the now empty 100g where all my macaw cichlids went to the 300g. So he is in the 100g and he was peeeved this morning when I walked by the tank from 15 feet he made eyecontact and flared and bull rushed the glass so I went to the tank and laughed at him he shuddered and swam to the far side of the tank.
So as I was watching the 230 all day my biggest zebra tilapia starts goin at all the other fish. Well my aro is near the 25 inch mark and my tsn is about the same , my 13 inch clown has bite marks all the other fish have bite marks. So I got to thinking all day I could just do it in and that would be it . So I posted the thread just to see what others think.
End result just after posting the thread I grabbed the offender and netted her and threw her in the 300g and her first action was to bite one of the small johani and remove the back 1/3 and spit out the fish and turn around and stair at me. So the other 3 zebra tilapia are all riled up and wont leave the rest of the fish alone, so I netted them and threw them back in the 300g and since they all went back in no issues. Except now I have one of the most over stocked tanks I have ever had.
By my count I have over 120 fish in my 300g can we say absolute 2-3/week water change thank god I don't pay the water bill !!!!!!!!
I will have to post a pic of this and will take some right after I post this post.
On the good side I have my piece of glass to fix my cracked 300g coming in with a 180g I just sold someone, so I will have my 300g up and running in about a month
