Death of a Lion Fish

One of my favorite fish is gone! All was well until he started refusing to eat...he never does this. I realized something was wrong with his eye. See the video for the rest of the story.

you could of feed him on a stick u know

[lexdiamond20]

@xz21346 Tried that. Even with touching it to his mouth, still wouldn't take it.

actually, the straight freezer death a myth as a humane way to euthanize a fish. Its not the worst way, but is a bit painful once the blood vessels start to freeze and the organs shut down. The most humane way is to put them in a clove oil solution (used for human tooth pain) but used by the vet as an anesthetic. Let them pass out, and then freeze them while they are unconscious. Or you could overdose them in clove oil, but can be tricky.

sorrry man thats terrible

[FOB101ful]

That is indeed the most humane way because the warmer the water the more active and the colder is the least active and he is just going to free to death no pain that we know him

This sucks, I am sorry for your loss:( My bristle nose just died, heater burn.

[ZZgS]

Won't the water freeze?

[Jewasaur]

why no just a drop of cyanide in a bowl and trow him on in, dead in less then 9 seconds haha

i hate when my fish die :/

[redw22]

u know that freezing fish is really painful for them! Dont be stupid!

[MrMegasaurass]

yea he had a disease called popeye. and just like you saw, it causes the fish's eyes to fall out. you see it a bit with goldfish. that really sucks man sorry for ur loss.

[trolliamnot]

I feel your pain man. I had a gold fish (I know lame) for 5 years. He died yesterday. The same thing that happened to your fish happened to mines. He died 13 inches long. You should have buried him.

[dappledbaybeauty]

you should have sedated him first or gave him a euthanasia

aww thats too bad (n)
