I'm sorry to say our Library here is down right now. Here is a link to the article that should be posted there. It has since been updated though. I had suggested using clove oil in the past, but since then, we have discovered it ceases breathing, causing brain damage--especially in smaller, weaker species. I now suggest using MS222 (Finquel) to tranquilize a fish.
