I could understand the feeling behind the actions, I have a few fish that drive me perilously close to their demise....my @sshole pink con for example. My pink con kills his tankmates, just kills them, and lets them sit on the bottom of his tank. And the one fish (other than another con) who has survived a week with him, he steals as much of her food as he can, no matter how full he is. It is instinct to make sure that out of millions of creatures just like you, that you survive at their expense. So no matter how stuffed to the gills your con was, is was bound by INSTINCT to eat every morsel it could find.

BUT, that is where my understanding ends.

Freezing isn't any better than literally boiling them alive, it's just the flip side of the same coin. It's also as bad as just letting them slowly suffocate.

I agree that if you couldn't get clove oil, then bashing their head in, or cutting their head off, would have been a quicker death. Putting it in a bag and smashing the whole d@mn fish just sounds NASTY!!

Your loach would have quickly stuck up for itself, and eaten, if not, you should have seperated it, or let it get hungry enough to defend it's food. Nature leaves no room for those meek and mild. And simply because we have decided to bring nature indoors, doesn't mean that years of evolution is moot.

btw, since fish are coldblooded, freezing slowly lowers their bodily functions until they shut down. It is like going to sleep. Much different than us warm-blooded creatures
 
Well, that certainly will teach an animal living in an unnatural environment to do something totally natural. Way to go, big man!
 
I don't get it. He boiled them alive? To euthanize them because they ate food that he put in the tank? He shouldn't own animals if he is so immature to exact retribution on an animal for an action that he himself caused.

The fish got a death penalty for eating food he put in the tank. It's odd because the only reason you would post this is for attention.
 
Why did you buy the spotted loach anyway, your tank is obviously already overstocked with growing fish. I guess you don't practice what you preach? What is most disturbing is the fact that you actually "felt better" after murdering these 3 fish, most would actually feel bad if they HAD to kill the fish.
 
I don't see what the big deal is although there probably was a better way to do it. I've killed plenty of suckers and carp by puncturing their air bladder. I guess it's different being that they were in your care instead of being killed to help reach management goals, though.
