Somebody else cleans them.
Yes, there are people who will take their fish to an aquatic veterinarian where s/he will administer
the proper drugs... akin to our kitties and doggies.

I think we ought to call her "T1"...
I think she said she "watched" when her fish were ailing. But that's kind of open-ended.
She is "The T".
Just noticed on T'mato's "report card" the vet rated him 6/9 on the "body condition" scale.
I think she was being polite. He's at least a 7... if not an 8.
Lost 0.5 pounds since last year. Every ounce just makes it easier on him.
Otherwise everything is "very good"... assuming bloodwork comes back as normal.

so, when i had to euthanize fish at work, i used a fish anesthetic in water (MS222, aka Tricaine, which is similar to lidocaine) and then cut off their heads. When i had fish at home, I watched and added OTC fish meds, and hoped... I never actively euthanized the fish in the home aquarium
After fishing and before cleaning fish for eating, i have beheaded them. It's icky when they're not anesthetized. Better than letting them suffocate, but still icky. (but you can't use anesthetic if you're planning to eat them and it's not something i had at home anyway)
Glad T'mato (and you and the vet) made it safely through the annual checkup.

I'm back after a good visit w/my doc!
^^^^ See Bear? AttyPops for the win!
Although I bet beheading hurts more than the suffocation, it is faster, but IDK. Fish were dead by the time I cleaned them. Cleaning involved beheading as first step though.Go ahead Bear, act all "Atty was 'poking' me about the fish thing". Go ahead. I'll wait...
Not without treating all the other fish, which could be detrimental to them. "The Dropsy"
is almost always fatal, even with treatment.
lol! lots of activity
glad t'mato survived the vet and vice versa!
poor mad! you sure it isn't chiggers?
yes, i watched bear - but that goldfish was about 8'' and while i think beheading is the fastest way i just wasn't able to do it.
hiya, gracie! glad you got a good report together with t'mato!
