I woke up this morning and found my powder blue tang all scratched up and lying on the bottom of the tank severely stressed. All the other fish, corals, and inverts are fine. I moved him over to the 210 because of the lower currents and lack of possible predators of a sick fish but he died this afternoon after dosing with two different meds. I hated to see him suffer, but hated the thought of killing him if he had a chance. It just made me wonder what the most humane way was to put a fish down.

This may sound cruel: Many people freeze them, and when you think about it, it's probably the most humane way.
Their system slows down and they go to sleep.
Sorry about your loss.
