How to Humanely Euthanize a Betta Fish ???? Different Methods

▼MORE INFO▼
Deciding when to Euthanize your Betta fish is never easy. In this video, I go over some of the signs to look for in a fish that might be ready to be humanely euthanized. I also go over different types of euthanasia.
Currently, the method that I use involves clove oil. Clove oil has an active ingredient inside called “Eugenol” that serves as a sedative for betta fish. When clove oil is administered in very high doses, however, this sedative is considered safe to be used in betta fish euthanasia. This method is not supported by research or the FDA but it commonly accepted and used in the fishkeeping hobby.

Other "humane" methods include:
Decapitation
MS 222 (Tricaine Methanesulfonate) *Vet Required but FDA Approved

Methods NOT considered humane:
Flushing
Alcohol
Freezing
Boiling
Alka-Seltzer
