okay basically i need to get a fishing license and getmore serious about learning how to fish but only so that i can become more comfortable with killing fish so that if ever one of my pet aquarium fish needs to be killed i can perform the procedure with confidence and competence..

#anatomy wouldn't be the same but it would give me a better idea.....#WHATEVER i need to go to bed.#plus he'll probably die in the night and the snails and shrimp will take care of it for me because they are so nice

well if he dies in the night at least the snails will have something interesting to eat and so will the planaria if there are any still in there (haven't seen any since i added the fish) and maybe the shrimp will be curious to have a taste :/

#i guess i'll remove the corpse though in the morning? well if he dies #and put it in my plant pot? i don't know..#or should i leave it in there.#the aquarium hobby is full of endless possibility

i think we're gonna be okay :-)

UGHH whatever i guess i'll go to bed and hope he dies in the night :(

#he probably will he was looking very rough earlier #still.

okay i think it shouldn't be this hard to find anatomical illustrations of where exactly a corydoras' brain is located i'm sure someone in the 1800s mapped it out why can't i find it !!!!!!

#i'm showing my care for him by over researching how to kill him as efficiently and painlessly as possible ...#can't find enough literature on hypothermic shock especially not on specifically corydoras #and the clove oil thing also seems incredibly variable and questionable #so the only definite immediate and painless way of killing the fish is to #do it manually but that requires anatomical knowledge which it is hard to acquire I GUESS.

that's actually crazy that decapitation doesn't stop brain activity like what hello that's insane. you have to do pithing to frogs too if im not mistaken

ohhhhhhhhhhhh i get yaoi now

alright so well.. hmm.. hagar is dying like actively dying tonight and the thing is the only available way i have to kill him as painlessly as possible which is backed by multiple academic/agricultural sources is basically blunt force trauma + decapitation with a pair of scissors + lobotomy with a thick sewing needle (this last step is called 'pithing'). Pithing is necessary because in fish brain activity doesn't cease with decapitation, so you need to destroy the brain after you cut the head off. so! well. that is a bit much for tonight. i'm going to leave him alone and hopefully he'll die during the night and if not i guess i can try to see if i have it in me to play fish executioner tmrw....

#UGHH i knew he was going to die but it makes me sad that he is suffering #plus his friend juniper is going to have no friends anymore.#i think i need to buy myself a really sharp pair of scissors which will be my executioner tools i guess :(#also he's like 3 cm long so doing all this is going to be tricky to say the least #but there are pretty solid diagrams for where to insert the needle at least and also roughly where to apply blunt force trauma #to stun the fish
