Today I got up the nerve to finally trim the fin on my aro. The front ray on my aros anal fin was always seperated from the day I bought it. After lots of research and the fact that transmore and similar products are prohibited in Canada I decided to use the clove oil method. Instead of diluting the clove oil in ethanol I found that it can be just as easily diluted in warm water. After about a minute the fish was out cold. I lifted the fish out and onto a styro lid where I quickly performed the procedure and returned it to the tank. It took a couple minutes but the fish recovered very well and is swimming around seemingly unaffected by the procedure. Heres a couple pics , I apologize for the poor quality, I was extremely nervous and pics weren't exactly priority at the time.
