Why are you killing the goldfish? I am not going to tell you how to euthanise a fish if you are only killing it to "Get rid of it becasue you don't want it"

More info please

whack it on the head

 

[Angry_Platy]

OK....I wasn't going to condone replying to this post but it is on my conscience that a fish is suffering....IF YOU MUST EUTHANISE IT......then PLEASE whack it on the head......

Do you have any vodka or other alcohol....put it in that.....it will go to sleep and die pretty quick


I still wanna know why you are euthanising it...

BTW....for future reference, a goldfish will not die in ice water.....they live in ponds where the top freezes over.....

of corse i want it.....im not evil...... i came down this morning it looks awful like it had a broken spine its all bent..i think my loachy thing must have attacked it....so now its on the verge of death i dont want it to suffer any more!

ok just thought the ice might mke it cold and go to sleep......i put some alcohol in so i hope it works! thanku... and im not horrible i just care for my fish..its badly hurt....it was flipping over and bendy and it couldnt swim!

 

[Angry_Platy]

I hope your poor fishie passes peacefully....

For future reference ice is the worst way to euthanise a fish....it causes a lot of pain and distress and often takes some time...

Your original post gave me the impression that you didn't want the fish....we tend to be a suspicious bunch here

I am glad he passed in the end....

poor little fish....

Did it have any visible wounds or just the bent spine?

 

[BOD]

yea he's lost a lot of scales and got little red wounds......
