Great Job, Haiko!!! Please tell me what anaesthetic did you use and how does one revive the aro afterwards...
I will need to do that, eventually, to take out the pimples of my monster...

Not DE on my fish luckely :)
The fish was put asleep with TMS. After the operation she came by really fast. The stopped breathing (gill movement) during the operation but revived really well and good.

TMS is Tricaine Methanesulfonate, im dont think you can buy it in lfs tho, you will need to look elsewhere.
Great job, impressive!
Currious how the tail will grow back :)
