Sounds tricky! (Oops...truly, no pun intended.) Thank you for the info.

Interesting. Thanks!

Darn. Just when I thought I had the definitive answer to the the best way of euthanizing...well, I thought freezing was a good way so it's nice to have support for my position.

Thank you for your informative reply. The idea that aquarium fish have been raised for generations under monitored conditions makes a lot of sense.

Ok, thanks.

That is a good point. Thank you. :)

Yes, I had read that, too. I spent about an hour on fish fora about the best way to euthanize fish. Most other people agree with you about clove oil and vodka (I think). Thanks.

I def do not want to risk my girls getting a disease...you know a lot about this; thanks for your ideas.

If I have to worm the girls in order to feed them the fish, I'll probably go the turning culls into fertilizer route!

Maybe I could nuke the fish?

I'd like to breed platies. What do you breed? Thanks for the tip about the feeder guppies. I'll check it out.

That's an interesting question!

Hmmm...that's something I hadn't thought of. Good idea of freezing them first; in addition to protecting the chickens (or humans) from parasites, it would also euthanize the fish in a way that wouldn't affect the chickens. (I have read about how freezing as a means of euthanasia is not...

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I searched and didn't find anything. Anyway, the title pretty much says it all. I would like to start breeding tropical fish and wonder whether I could feed the fresh culls to my girls.
