I was visiting a Vet's office to pick up a special order of Levamisol HCl, and had a nice conversation with him while I was there. He mentioned that the only thing he knew about fish was how to anesthetise (sp) them, and that only because it was on the exam! They would use Hydrogen Peroxide, if I am remembering correctly, it caused the fish the least amount of stress before any medical procedure. Perhaps there is someone that would know "the rest of the story" and know the dosages to "put the fish to sleep" before doing the final deed. Myself, I have put them in the freezer as well...
