How to Kill a Betta Fish

This is one way to kill a betta fish, but I have to tell you, it will feel a lot of pain. You can use a combination of any of the methods described in the previous posts to severely weaken the betta. Here is a brief description.

One way to start is to chase the betta around the tank with a plastic spoon. Then, do not let it come up for air. Do this for awhile. You could also try poking the betta, like with a toothpick, and it will run away quickly. Doing these things will weaken the betta.

After you do these and other things for awhile, the betta will become very weak. By then, it may only stay at the top, breathing occasionally. Or, it will stay at the bottom, and come up for air every now and then.

To really create problems for the betta, you might want to take its eyes out. Or take a toothpick, and poke it in its mouth. See how far you can go. If you keep going, you will probably hit an internal organ.

You could also try pushing the betta onto its side when it tries to swim straight. You have to repeatedly do this to potentially have an effect.

The rest is up to you. Actually I am trying to stop doing this. I really don't want to kill any more bettas. They've suffered enough, and they don't deserve this kind of treatment. Just because they don't swim perfectly is not grounds for ending their life. They swim the way they swim and that's that. I think that most bettas that swim slow is because they're not in a heated tank.

Anyway, what I am saying is that you should really take better care of your betta fish, dont kill them. They don't deserve to die. It's time to save the precious lives of these betta fish.
