Woke up today to my 28 inch long nose gar with a twisted hanging back:{This was Pinocchio and he was one of my favorites.How do i put him down?Not sure what happened but i know the tank is plenty big,its 4 feet wide.I think maybe the TSN is the culprit?I am so upset now.

Clove oil mixture would be best way to put down.
