With the recent tank problems I have been having, Im wondering if this is any humane way of euthanizing a sick fish that isnt going to make it.
I medicate and let nature take its course until the fish either gets better or dies on its own, but Im wondering if this is the wrong thing to do when a fish is too far gone. Some things I read online such as freezing the fish doesnt seem humane to me at all. I did read something about clove oil.
The remaining fish in my tank overall seem ok, but tomorrow I will medicate the tank because they definitely have been exposed to something, probably fungal in nature, and one fish is thin, etc.
Do you all agree with medicating and doing all you can and just letting nature take its course? Or do you reach a point where you want to be humane and intervene?
Sorry - this is not a pleasant topic.
