My thoughts on fish euthansia is wait until there seems to be absolutely no hope. As in no swimming or eating for a prolonged period. A general wasting away is a good indicator to me that quality of life is pretty much gone. And then I use water with lots of ice in it if it comes to the pt of euthanizing. It works pretty fast. I really hope you don't have to do that! Hoping the best for you.

He's eating, he hasn't given up eating yet, but spends most of the day on a leaf. He will come to see me if I go near the aquarium, but I don't go much anymore, hate to see him like this. The bump is so big now, I just can't believe the size of this bump that keeps growing.
I always thought that the kindest way to put a fish out of his misery was to put him in a bag, with his water, and put him in the freezer. I heard that this way they just fall asleep, and die...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I hate to think about it. Thank you for all your comments, and help
