>This applies to any animal that is cold blooded and relies on temperature to regulate it's internal organs. (warm blooded animals on the other hand would experience suffering if this were done) Cold water animals, of course, take longer to respond to the cooler temps "putting them to sleep", as these animals tend to hibernate when the temp gets down to a certain level, but once their organs are completely frozen, the organ function stops and does not restart. If you think of koi that would be a good example. This is the reason why they can survive outdoors in frigid temps provided the water never freezes solid and the water level is deep enough to provide them a slightly warmer temp in the depths where their organs slow down and they hibernate through the coldest months. As long as they have oxygen and gas exchange at the surface they do just fine. They remain inactive to conserve energy for organ function. As the temps warm their
>metabolism speeds back up and they become more active. This is also why hibernating animals don't feed during hibernation. Their organs are on "conservation mode" and their digestive systems slow down enough to not be able to process food or the nutrients contained within. All energy is spent on organ function alone.

>>I discourage the use of clove oil for euthanizing of fish. Not only is it messy and leaves a residue that makes a container unsafe for fish use afterwards (near impossible to remove even with bleach), but if the fish isn't exposed to enough of it or for long enough, all it does is put them to sleep and allow them to wake up again afterwards. It also can be very stressful for them in such a situation and cause more suffering. It is faster, easier, and a guarantee that they are truly gone if they are put into a zip lock baggie with enough water to fully cover the fish and then set into a freezer and left alone for a few hrs until all water is completely frozen, then tossed into the garbage. The darkness in the freezer helps to calm them and avoid stress and as the water temp in the baggie drops the fish "go to sleep" as their organs shut down. Once frozen there is no chance it can wake back up. Freezing is the only method I will use for such a

I would appreciate it if you all would look through them and see what you think. she swims perfectly fine and she is just as active as the rest but she looks like her body is broken in half. and the green where the break looks like it is pinpoints it.
