I can’t really bring myself to cull it as it has been with me for 10 months and pulled through severe ich and tail rot before. But I may not have much choices if it continues this way .

Any bros have any good suggestion to put a GF to sleep in a humane way?
Use clove oil, which you can find in any pharmacy (ask for clove oil), dose one part oil to 10 parts water and slowly watch the fish go to sleep. Don't use your bare hands to stir the solution if not after that your hands will smell of cloves. If it refuses to mix properly, use equal parts of vodka to bind the two together.

After the fish is knocked out (it is not dead), put it in a bag of water and put the bag in the freezer after saying your good byes.
