Anyone who lives in the UK will know that things are always a little more difficult and certainly a lot more expensive to do!
So even with a diet of crunchy foods "Puffys" teeth needed trimming and with MS-222 being difficult to get hold of I looked to other alternatives. I didn't want to use Clove Oil so some one recommended Kusuri Masuizai Koi Sedate & it works a treat!
It is designed for sedating koi but came recommended as being suitable for use with most fish including puffers. So I ordered it from a Koi specialist online via their Ebay shop for around £15.00.
Recommended Dosage:
10ml for every 9 litres of water
I originally thought I'd half the dose but this didn't have much effect on Puffy, (probably as Colomesus Asellus are really active puffers) so I upped the dosage to what they recommended and even then he wasn't completely knocked out!
But there was no struggling, no air puffing his recovery was almost immediate and I got his teeth trimmed! Now he is now happily swimming with his fellow puffers!
If anyone wants anymore details on this feel free to PM me or Google Kusuri Masuizai!
