Donna Snellgrove sums up what I consider the best option when she tells me: “The easiest route for fish keepers to humanely kill a non-recovering sick fish would be by an overdose of anaesthetic and then destruction of the brain, using some sharp scissors/scalpel/skewer/large needle, appropriate for the size of fish.

Do goldfish get sad when other fish die?

It's highly unlikely that your goldfish will be depressed when the other one dies because they're sad. However, they could become bored if they're not in the tank anymore. Remember, goldfish need lots of stimulation to make sure they're not getting bored. And if they get bored they may end up becoming depressed.

Do birds get sad when their babies die?

What does it mean when Angel fish kiss?

Angelfish lock lips as part of pairing and mating interaction. Following that, the male and female will seek for a spawning site to breed. On the other hand, lip-locking could be a sign of aggression. That primarily happens as a result of dominance establishment and courtship rejection.

Why are my Glofish chasing each other?

Tetras chase each other for showing dominance, mating, lack of space due to overcrowding or small tank, defining territory, or eating food. Adding hiding spots, tank dividers, decorations to define territory, and supply of adequate food are some of the ways to stop tetras from chasing each other.

Why are my angel fish fighting?

Why Are My Angelfish Attacking Each Other? When angelfish appear to be pecking or nipping at each other, it's usually a sign of aggression, especially if you have more than 1 male in the tank. Male/female pairs will also 'attack' each other by locking lips or posturing/twitching usually right before spawning.

Can angel fish live solo?
