As a fisherman I am used to bonking fish on the head. Not that I enjoy it but it's part of fishing.

When it comes to euthanizing smaller marine fish I find the best way is a couple inches of tank water in a 1 litre cup and then into the freezer. Since they are cold blooded they pass peacefully without violence.

I agree with the water & freezer method Tim. That's what I usually do if it comes to that. Usually, though, I find the fish dead rather than dying.

Either way, the body is kept frozen in a jar until spring when all the morts become fertilizer for my garden.
