LOL what are you doing...

[eklikewhoa]

Now that I think about it... It is something good to have on hand.

Why aren't you getting Finquel?

[eklikewhoa]

I figured clove would be easier to obtain?
Also, reading that artical it says I have to buffer finquel and what not.

[imagirlgeek]

Just curious. I've never used clove oil. Let me know how it goes. And yeah, you do have to buffer finquel. It's kind of a pain, but not too bad. If you'll let me know how it goes and what you do, I'd love to use the info to create an article. I wrote one for Finquel, specific to puffer dentistry, but we have nothing on clove oil.

insteresting, are you doing this in place of using the cyanide? i noted that the article mentioned that clove oil may irritate the fish...

[eklikewhoa]

Sure thing Traci!

As for the irritating part, I read that too but all across the boards when aquatic operations is mentioned, so is clove oil. Some of the fish this is used on are high dollar fish and they seem to all come out of it perfectly.

good to know next time i need to pull those (*&$@#*& SAEs out of an aquarium

the puffer dentestry. is very interesting. I hope we never have to do that but nice to find the info if we ever have to.
