Yup, that's how nature does it. BUT nature doesn't have to worry about ammonia spikes and bacterial build ups as the carcass is slowly consumed and rots. This is what we have to deal with in a closed system.

not everyone has the same pathways of information, and i never heard of that fish comatoser before.

Agreed ! That is why I put a fish down as painlessly for both of us. Fish goes in a small container of water then in the freezer. Now a crab gets squashed & put right back into the tank.
