I was watching "Beyond Tomorrow" on the Science channel yesterday and they did a segment on anethstics used for fish. They were demonstrating how it works on an oscar with popeye that had to have the eye removed. Wondering if anyone else saw this.
Who performed the surgery? I would be interested to hear who did. I know a friend from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who performed surgery on her oscar after it suffered severe eye damage which apparently if not removed, the fish may die.

The surgey was done by a vet in New Zealand.

They said around $85.00. Though they didn't say if it was U.S. or N.Z. funds.
