🪃 Using clove oil to euthanize 4 of my baby fish.

Today I had to make the difficult, but responsible decision to euthanize four of the blue koi guppy babies. They all have curved spines (one is very severe, she looks like a boomerang) which is not good for 3 main reasons:

1. Their quality of life will suffer
2. They may pass on this gene to future generations
3. They may pass away unexpectedly, which will then cause the ammonia in the tank to rise

Note: this (euthanizing the fish) is a common practice among fish breeders. It’s called culling and it’s meant to elimate fish with untreatable traits that will harm future generations. Healthy fish are never killed.

I didn’t understand euthanasia until I had to do it for my own dog. She was suffering so much and my parents were prolonging her suffering. She was in so much pain, constantly crying and unable to get up to perform basic functions like eat/drink/go potty/etc. It was awful to see and eventually I had enough to convinced my parent to bring her in.

She went peacefully and painlessly, looking more at ease than she had in a long time. I felt like the worst shit on the planet letting her suffer like that because we couldn’t let her go.

Euthanasia is better than terminal/life long suffering. Especially for creatures that don’t understand why they are suffering in the first place

When the fish sees the spoon:
“The claw”
“It chose me”

Some people let the fish suffer but you had a good way to do this

Also RIP Guppies😢🐠

This is the chillest and the most calming murder video I have ever seen 😔

My mom had these crooked spine guppies before. They actually ended up living pretty long. I mean we didn’t really know how uncomfortable those fishes were but they lived almost as long as other healthy guppies.

Me with scoliosis glad dad did not use sleepy water

i had a girl named Lilly that was all curvy. bought her from a store and she ended up being the oldest guppy out of all my other ones. She was the only guppy ive cried over.

I also had a guppy with a curved spine, but mine was like REALLY curved. His spine ended up straightening out and he was totally fine.

POV me actually having scoliosis and wondering dang I could be dead right now if I were a fish

The way she can notice them tho 😭 SLAYED

In the animal health field we always stress this saying "Quality over Quantity." It is far better for an animal to live a short life comfortably, than a long life in misery.

I remember as a little kid, one of my aunts had a huge tank where she let her guppies breed over the course of several years. I brought it up to her that some were in a complete “L” shape by the end and many looked majorly deformed, she denied it completely. No idea what happened to them all in the end. It’s nice to see someone care about the quality and breeding standards. So glad your channel exists

I’m crying watching this while eating a fish fillet.

“They will sleep forever” it breaks my heart 😢” (edit) I feel accepted for once 🥲

This is so helpful. I had to watch my last betta die because I had no idea what to do and none of the tips I found online were helping him, hospital tank, medicated water, etc. I'd wished at the time I had a way to help him. I hope I don't need this in future, but I am SO glad to know now.

Most people just toss them. They could care less what fish feels or not. Thank you!❤

[Darknitebou]

Most people would flush them or just let them suffocate in the air, but I am proud that you let them go the least harmless way
