If you want to keep her but are worried about having deformed babes then give her a few virgin females from you’re fry pool to hang with in a community tank.

I’ve never performed euthanasia, much less on a fish, but something called Oil Of Cloves is used as a fast acting topical numbing agent for toothaches so maybe it can be used for euthanasia. A drop on the fish to numb it’s whole body, then kill the brain with a needle or tip of a razor knife something along those lines sounds as close to humane as I can think of. Stick some on your gums to see how fast it works first. Might need to stick the fish back in a cup of water to wait for it to fully kick in and being cold blooded it might take slightly longer.

For now stick her in a hatchery box or something so she can’t breed.

Just noticed how old the topic is and added this to the post. What happened to the fish?

Damn. Second thing that came to mind, right after “OH, SHINEY!!!”, was “How the hell they gonna get the fish back out!?!” :lol:

It’s a beautiful set up and I’m sure the fish love all the little hiding places. I’m just wondering what it’ll be like if you ever have to net one of them!
