Re: humane killing of a 3" goldfish please

I use clove oil. You can buy it in little bottles in Boots the chemist (and
probably all other chemists). Put the fish in a small container of tank
water (I use a tupperware box), then mix the clove oil in a jam jar with
some tnak water and shake until it goes white. Gradually add a fewd rops at
a time into the fish's container. Swish with your hand an they will go to
sleep. Once you can't see any gilll movement, leave for 10 minutes then put
in the freezer just in case.
