humane ways to kill a fish (to be blunt)

no just the jack dempsey, he is tearing up all my convicts and my smaller oscar

im really not that cold, i dont have another tank for him, he is ripping all the other fish apart, and no one wanted him, and the lfs wouldnt take him either. I had no choice

hey, thats much, much better than dumping it in local waters, all we need is somebody to find a dumped JD and get a ban on all cichlids

 

[rockinthe40ounce]

but honestly everyone, was what i did really that inhumane?

there's no easy answer. If you feel that you exhausted every possible way of getting rid of the fish without killing it or dumping it into the Patomac. Then you did the right thing.

Please let us all understand better, what you had in this tank...

What size is the tank?
how big was the JD?
The cons size & how many?
Oscar(s) count & size?

It might help us all come to grips on the loss.

perhaps you have already posted your tank?

 

[rockinthe40ounce]

55 gallon with 4 pink convicts, a 2 inch tiger oscar, and a 5 inch tiger oscar. He has torn the fins of 2 of the convicts and chases the rest around and split the tail on my small oscar. he was about 4 inches

Do you have a photo of this tank? is there cover fot the fish?

Do you have plans for the Oscars in 3 months, 5 months, a year?

BTW, leftover crack is what we have after we send someone to jail

Wrap it up in plastic bags and a quick rap on the head with a hammer. You dont have to see it, and it ends it quickly for him.

Just take the fish out, take a nice sharp knife. Put it on the top of his head inbetween his eyes, and with one quick stab put the knife in. He should die instantly. Good way to kill fish when you're in the middle of filleting them and they are still alive.
