Bala-Shark Enuthniasiation

My god-parents bala-shark (one of them, full grown) had a really bad something or the other but they ended up enuthnisiating him which i was wondering if they did it properaly, they bought this chemical that you add the entire bottle of, they fed him one last time then emptyed the bottle it in the tank, he sorta swam around like normal and then just went to the bottom and died.

 

What chemical was it?

Just got off the phone and said it was a formalin soluation.

Well that clears that up, ive been lucky and havent had to face enuthnisation yet but thanks for the info.

 

Chelle,

I'm about to throw up after reading 1/4 of that link. I can't believe some of the things I just read...

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: I took chelles word for it and descided not to read, im extremely squeemish!

 

strange for me it wont open up! when it did once it was just circles and dots

 

Do you have Acrobat Reader?

I believe that the AVMA sets the standards for how animals used in research/lab work must be treated. I could be wrong on that, but I remember reading something about the animal care standards in my animal physiology lab and I think it was by the AVMA.
