Second, it takes a while to freeze to death, I dont see that as being peaceful at all. If you have ever seen the documentaries on Everest, human beings are conscious even while portions of their bodies are frozen solid. I know this is not a direct translation to fish, but that is not humane for an animal you once wanted and maybe loved.

When my gold stripe maroon bites me I just tell myself that she is the one who makes the eggs so I can raise the babies, and I push myself through the pain.

I hope so. But I know that a while back someone was posting about having to put down an ill fish and touting freezing as painless.

From past experience, I learned that waiting to act on very aggressive fish is a bad idea. I had a banded hawkfish that ate a cleaner shrimp, my gramma (I think) and tried to eat a similar sized damsel. I eventually took him back to the LFS before he did more damage.
I also regret not acting sooner to rid my tank of aggressive damsel fish since it severly limited what peaceful smaller fish I could place in the tank. But I guess you get attached to the fish you keep - even the now 6 year old damsel fish you used to break in your tank.
