i couldnt find any ms-222 so i got clove oil. mixed one part oil to 9 part alcohol (one cap oil+9 caps alcohol). put the fish in a 20g container with about 10g of tank water. added the oil mixture slowly (~1ml every couple minutes). after 15 minutes the fish started slowing down and went bellied up. used half of the mixture. had to cut into the gill plate cause the curl was really bad. took about 2 minutes or so. then put it back into the tank with current flowing. started swimming about a minute after it went back into the tank. dose the tank with malafix for 5-6 days and lights off. did a 30% water changed on the 7th day and 20% water changed the 8th day. didnt eat for the first week. now started to eat raw shrimp. it looks healthy now. eating shrimp like crazy. will post pics up later.

If you are going to use clove oil the mix is 1 ml. clove to 10 ml. of everclear. I did a operation on a 13" rhom with this mixture and it worked great. You can pick up clove oil at GNC thats the only place I could find it here in Mi. Good Luck

Well so far I heard of people using everclear, ethanol, vodka, and 40% rubbing alchohal. Doesn't hurt to know the specifics does it? Or I believe some even stated that you can just use the clove oil by itself. Which one is more efficient?
