i have to trim my F8 puffers teeth and i was wondering where to get clove oil that i can use to sedate the puffer. is it the same herbal clove oil humans use for burns, rashes, acne etc? where can i find dosing directions for F8 puffers? i have the one for GSP's linked but i figured since they are bigger puffers it wouldnt take as much for the F8's.
where do you get clove oil?

most drugstores will have it, ask the pharmacy.
but clove oil can cause brain damage.
the best thing to use is MS-222

article on the puffer forum ( http://www.**************.com/forum/library/hospital/dentistry/ ) recommends:
For puffers under 4″, fill two, one-quart containers with 3 cups of tank water. Put 3 drops of clove oil in 1 container.

what is the MS-222? can i get that in most drug stores as well. does this have less documented cases of damaging any fish if dosed improperly? i planned on only having them in there until he was out cold, bringing him out, trimming and putting back into the other (non-clove oil water) container to revive as fast as possible.
