Sedating Koi
Sedating a Fish for Treatment:

Clove oil at a rate of 8 to 12 drops per gallon will calm a fish in a matter of minutes. Larger fish seem to requite a bit
more and so upwards of 15-16 drops per gallon may be used without harm to the fish. Add the clove oil to a small
container of water which can be shaken thoroughly. Then add it to the sedating bowl.

DO NOT LEAVE THE FISH UNATTENDED DURING THIS TIME.

Use only enough water to cover the fish. Aerate. When the fish lays over on your hand without flopping and while still
having gill movement it is ready for treatment. Practice this a couple of times keeping a supply of fresh but aged water
close by. If for any reason you feel the fish has become sedated too deeply, simply move it to fresh aerated water
and assist the fish in using the gills and hold near aeration.
