I always get bummed when fish die that I've had for a while. Dirty was one of my trained fish.
I don't know if this happens with all tanks, but I always put their food in the same corner of the tank. I know when they are hungry 'cause they all gather & swim in the same corner around feeding time. It's a neat little trick.
Fish euthanasia is one of those issues where you will find almost as many opinions and techniques as there are people to ask. The method I prefer uses clove oil and vodka... the clove oil completely sedates them and the vodka ensures that they don't wake up. This seems to be a very quiet, peaceful, and humane way to accomplish an awful task.
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
