actually..put them in a bucket and gradually add some clove oil. It is like an anethetic..and gradually slips them into a deep sleep...just put in a little more so they don't wake up. A lotta puffer keepers use it to 'knock' out their puffers so they can trim their beaks....

Freezer is one painless method or u can just overdose transmore and the fish will slip off to meet the maker.
The freezer is not painless...supposably.
They're supposed feel everything till they slowly die that way.
You're supposed to put them in a bag with water and add baking soda.
This is what the vet recommended.

Euthanasia and disposal
It can be a sad moment in fishkeeping when one of our fish become ill and beyond our help.Below are
some options on euthanizing.Your options will vary depending on the size of the fish some options may
sound harsh even crude.Ultimately its up to you how to do it or even if you do it.
This is not a debate on the best way or the most painless or do they feel pain.Its simply a list of options on how to do it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KILL IT
1.Freeze it add fish to a small bag with water and place in freezer the fishes bodily functions
slowly stop and it expires
2.Drop the fish itnto cold water or boiling water
3.Break its backbone
4.Carbonated beverages place beverage in the bag and add the fish the large amount of carbon dioxide
will basically suffocate tthe fish
5.Decapatation take a sharp knife place it just behind the gills and seperate the head from the body
6.Alcohol (vodka) Place enough water in a bag so fish is in normal swimming position add alcohol until fish loses it balance the place in freezer.
7.Concussion wrap the fish in a damp towel and on a hard sufrace hit its head with a hammer to destroy
the brain.(preffered method according to some material)
8.Overdose of anesthesia Eugenol(clove oil) available at pharmacies and some other stores 20 drops per quart of water as it doesn't dissolve easily pre mix it first.
9.leave it out of water
10.flush it live down the drain
option 9,10 are in my opinion not options but horribly cruel!!! some of the others don't sound to good either
but its up to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISPOSAL
DO NOT FLUSH DEAD OR DIEING FISH
DO NOT RELEASE THEM INTO A LAKE OR POND
To properly dispose wrap the remains in paper towel sprinkle with bleach and double bag them in plastic bags then place them in the trash.This will prevent any transmission of possibly foreign disease

FREEZING THEM IS PAINFUL!!!!
LET ME STICK YOU IN A FREEZER AND LET YOU DIE OF PAINFUL COLD!!!!!
Now here wut you can do that is painless and inhumane
buy some "clove oil", full a bucket with only enough water to have fish completely submerged add afew drops and add an airstone, now palce the fis hin the bucket and watch it until it stopps breathing, after it stops breathing wait afew more minute to make sure it dosent breath, the ndispose of the fis has you wish.
clove oil is used as a anestetic to put a fish to sleep, like for operations and examination and such. used correctly and it can also be used to humanly euthanize a fish.
hope this helps.
i was taught this by my boss at were i work, after i told him how i killed my unsavable bala shark ( lopped of this head
)
