Feb. 99: Operation gill trim and scale removal:

Used 2 layers of trash bags to move fish Toughest part of the whole process was catching

Use MS222 from Argent Labs to Tranquilize RTG. I did not know the proper dosage so I slowly added diluted MS222 until the fish hardly moved; but still breathing. (Thanks Tat)

Turned the lights on and I could not beleive how lustrious the gold on the scales were. It looks so dull under normal lighting conditions. Fish knocked out on MS222

Operation Gill Trim and Scale Removal.. (Long story)

Operation was a piece of cake; hardest part was catching the fish. Placed back in the tank and gained consciousness a minute later. Powerhead directed towards gills for oxygen.

Next Day: A very happy and hungry RTG. Stuffed on Mealworms, crickets, and earthworms for a fast recovery.

Special Thanks goes to Idal for videotaping the whole procedure so I could use it on this site. Thanks babe!
