I have a 4" oscar that somehow managed to detach the front part of his lower jaw. I waited long enough to be sure it wouldn't correct by itself over time, so I seen no other option but to sew it back together long enough for it to heal and go from there.

Obviously, I can't hold it down while I do this. If anyone has reference to, or personal knowledge of, fish anaesthetics, I'd appreciate your help.

I'm looking for SPECIFIC info -- exact names of anaesthetics, dosage info, etc. etc.

Thanks

clove oil is in my opinion the best way to go. im not sure how much to use but it just slips them off to sleep and they wake up after its worn off, u should be able to get it at any savon or drugstore.
