yes, i agree with luvfishies. clove oil is the most humane method since it causes no pain for the fish. the fish just feel tired. another way to cull (i dont cull fish) is to have a small container (once big enough for it to swim around) feed the fish it's last meal and let the water deoxygenize itself. the fish will just get sleepy and suffocaty, and "sleep" although i wouldnt recommend any other culling methods besdies feeding or clove oil...
