    How would you use it to tranquilize a single fish without tranquilizing all of them?

    im pretty hesitant to use this... if it was so effective then there would be more info on it and all the experts would be using it

    LOL! There are some "know it all" people there. I could rejoin as my ISP changed, I just don't wana go back after the incident.

    Clove oil: I'm going to do it right over my huge clam that my gold bar hosts, he's outta here! Growing to big for me.

    Any how I found this info on clove oil:
