[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 1864632, member: 484"] Cement I was reminded while I "pondered" the name of the fish narcotic, that O2 [B]will[/B] cause a narcotic effect on fish. But only under controlled situations. Dissolved O2 in water is very temperature dependent, which means the warmer the water, the less O2 it CAN hold. But in a controlled environment, you can super saturate the water, and the fish will have the same reaction as the ones where they use the MS222 I believe it is called. So again, you were a lot closer than my first post credited. That is also why fish that are tropical are shipped in insulated containers with a cool pack, to keep the water cooler to allow more O2 to "dissolve" in the water. This same phenomenon occurs during the summer when a lot of ponds warm up. And if they are shallow, its worse. If you see fish at the surface in the mornings with their mouths above the surface, 99% of the time they are gasping for air, not looking for food as so many pond owners think. That's why it is always important to keep water falls running overnight, its life support for the fish. Back on subject, I know that part time loaders, and many drivers are not aware that for those 6 boxes, I paid almost $1200 bucks to get them here intact and alive. I don't know that this is too much to ask? [/QUOTE]
