The scientific side of me agrees, but the terminator side of me disagrees.

mike b;5030405; said:I agree I dont see the point in punishing a fish to a death sentence for acting like a fish the fish will not know why its being punished it just did what comes naturally if its still alive you could take it to an lfs or maybe give it away to someone on this forum that might live close to you just my two cents

A little planning before had goes a long way. Typically a fish like an Oscar is a threat to consume anything smaller than it's mouth - no matter what the fishes behavior was like in the past. Like a largemouth bass or a saltwater grouper. take it as a lesson learned, and learn to let go of "anger" when it comes to fishkeeping. You'll be much happier, and so will your fish.
