Re: Euthanasia

["Cory and Susanne Williamson" <webwill@infinet.net>]

As a last resort when necessary, I put them in a plastic bag and hit the bag
quickly against a hard surface.  This may seem brutal to some- it is, but I
think that it is the quickest way. It is interesting to note the a lot of
hobbyists include there own feelings when they consider what is more or less
traumatic for their fish, but that is OK, because they have to be able to
deal with what has to be done.
