HOW TO: Aquarium fish cosmetic surgery operation TUTORIAL

This fin trimming was done to my asian arowana A bit of cosmetic surgery is sometimes needed to help your fish look and function its best. At times it is done to help fix a visual issue with the fish and at others it is done to repair damage. Typically this is done on larger fish though, as their visual traits are much more easily seen. So any imperfection is clearly visible. I am not saying that you should do this, but rather simply showing you how I did it. The dosing is as follows: 0.5ml clove oil for every gallon of water. The clove oil is specifically: Eugenia Caryophyllata Get the ultimate DIY book ► http://thekingofdiy.com Follow me ► http://facebook.com/uarujoey The original operation video ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq6m0jnuzQY New show ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNstQT_LdXE The light lighting the tank ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QSxJymRBak

No offence, but if you keep an animal based on its looks then maybe you shouldn't be keeping it. Also, putting a fish though unnecessary risks for cosmetic imperfections is irresponsible, especially if there is risk of death. Furthermore, prioritising filming angle over you having the optimum position during the surgery is even more irresponsible.
I usually agree with you but this seems very unnecessary. It may be called a 'hobby' but at the end of the day it's animal care. Doing this is not providing the best care for an animal.

Would love to know the statistics of how many people have tried this and killed their fish or hurt it vs how many did this and the fish survived without being hurt.
So many people would become so nervous and mess something up. As you can see even someone as knowledgeable and has done it several times before gets nervous and starts shaking. Not a negative post against what he's doing but just curious.

Thanks I am doing 80% water changes every day or some times ever other day and adding one tablespoon and 1/2 when I add new water.
MintChocolate
MintChocolate - 7 years ago
Stormy Mist surgery isn't necessary. if it's fin rot you can successfully treat it by increasing the frequency of water changes and adding in some aquarium salt. be sure to do 100% water changes if you use aquarium salt though because the salt won't evaporate and can't be filtered out and you don't want to overdose your fish. If it's torn due to injury then make sure that you don't have any harmful plastic plants or rough decorations that might be tearing your bettas fins and if it has tank mates make sure they aren't nipping at the bettas fins. Once you troubleshoot the tank for causes, treat the injury with frequent water changes, and aquarium salt. Sometimes bettas bite their own fins due to stress, so naturally if the stress continues so will the biting. In that case be sure they are in a large enough tank (at least 5-10 gallons for a single fish), there aren't any stressful tankmates, sudden changes in environment (like swapping tanks without being properly acclimated), highly reflective surfaces (no more making your Betta flare with a mirror) or hands frequently tapping the glass. A betta's fins will almost always repair itself as long as the fish is healthy and in a clean environment

Unless you're helping the fish medically, this cosmetic operation is totally unethical. Just because we want a prettier fish by your personal standards... that's not justifiable. I'm glad you sedated it, and you do show great concern... but this is not right.
Maybe Later
Maybe Later - 7 years ago
Victoria Leppold I don't get what's so terrible about it. The fish is just fine and it didn't effect him in a negative way because he was sedated the whole time.
If he was inexperienced in doing these sorts of things then I would agree with you because it could've been dangerous. But he knew what he was doing.

You can see how healthy he is it's just his fins need a trim to help encourage growing. Much as you trim a rose bush, delicately and precision is key to keeping your fish's fins health. On a side not I want to know that fish's name. Not species name but like what you named him.

Both bettas and arowanas are surface eating predator fish from Asia, so they both developed a similar body structure to survive. Wild bettas certainly look more arowana-like than the modified pet store bettas

I constantly feel like I have no clue. I am up to a 75gal tank and have 5 koi. I am look forward to making my first tank after watching your videos.

My Bettas fins started to grow a nasty collor as he got older.
First i thought he was sick so i asked in a forum and after talking and talking for a week we came to the conclusion, that he isn't sick but his fins just grew that way. could i do cosmetik surgery on my Betta and cut the ugly parts of ?
If i do this, wi he regrow blue fins or will he grow those ugly fins again?

I've had to euthanasia fish as we all have had to do and i also use clove oil and when I'm sure there out a small amount of clear alcohol to put them at rest. was wondering how much you used.

He says in the video why he does it. It's also a common practice with birds. Sometimes fins, and feathers don't flourish with growth so they need to be trimmed or even in some cases removed to encourage growth. In the wild their fins bump up against rocks and gravels that can shred the fins and they regrow. This one grew and because of his clean environment the fins did not grow in properly.

Shawkn
Shawkn - 8 years ago
If you want to reduce your recovery time you may be able to introduce the animal to the anesthetic solution up until they looses equilibrium (but while they still have muscle tone/reflexes), then place them back into tank water (absent of anesthetic) and give them few more moments for the, previously absorbed anesthetic to take action, knocking them completely out. The down side to this is obviously a shorter time under sedation, but it causes a much easier transition from sedation to conciousness. My knowledge of this comes hundreds of procedures on Axolotl for research purposes while using using benzocaine; although, I would imagine the same procedure would translate to fish with the use of clove oil. Amazing channel, keep up the great work!

Great video!!! My Silver aro needs his gill flap trimmed like this, but I am afraid that since he is 15 years old, it might be too stressful.

I did do this to a Green Severum several years ago, and his fins grew back longer and looked better than ever. It was due to a failed heater, and he got so cold that his fins got almost like "frost bite" and died back. He looked almost like a Discus after I first cut his fins back. After a few weeks with extra salt and warmer water, he looked great and lived several more years....

Elizabeth Herr

Haha... No. As Joey said, there are no nerve endings in that area so the fish probably doesn't feel pain. If you chop off the top of a dog's tail, they will feel pain for SURE. There ARE nerve endings in the tail, and when it's docked that must hurt somehow for dogs. It's completely different, I don't think that was an intelligent or logical comparison. I do agree that he shouldn't have done surgery purely for cosmetic reasons, and it was PROBABLY not in the arowana's best interests. That comparison, however, was incorrect.
blackbearburrito
blackbearburrito - 7 years ago
Sorry to jump in here. I have a few comments on your argument. Buddy's death is entirely unrelated to this surgery, and did not happen because or when he was 'too large for tank life' so there's no point in bringing it up and saying that Joey doesn't care about his animals. (And also as Megan said, bringing it up so soon after his passing is really insensitive :/ )
But while I agree with you about this surgery being completely unnecessary for the health of this fish (note: it's called a COSMETIC surgery), Rumer, your comparison isn't quite the best. A "non-lethal dose" is exactly what we are given with anesthetics used for humans. The right dose knocks us out, and the wrong dose will kill us. While I'm sure Joey could have rigged up a system that would flow water over the fish's gills during the surgery, it only took a few seconds to complete, so there was no immediate danger there, while if you took a dog and put them underwater their lungs would fill and they would drown. There's also the fact that a dog's tail has nerve endings and will most definitely feel pain for days after the tail is docked, while (to my knowledge) a fish's tail does not have these nerve endings and is fine afterward. These surgeries are completely different and affect the animals in different ways. Docking was originally done to only working dogs, and was done to prevent injury to the animal. You're comparing a cosmetic surgery with a non-cosmetic surgery.
So yes, this specific surgery for this specific fish was not necessary and I get your reasoning for stating that Joey was not acting for the fish's best interests, but your comparison is too different to effectively help your argument.
Rumer Priestly
Rumer Priestly - 7 years ago
Megan Gaither imagine someone dosing their dog with a non-lethal dose of something that could kill them, just enough to knock them out, then submerging the dog in water for a few minutes while they chop off the top of its tail, just because the owner thinks it will look nicer.

Does that sound caring and compassionate, like an act of love, for the animal's best interests?
Rumer Priestly
Rumer Priestly - 7 years ago
Megan Gaither You're really overreacting here, I don't see how I'm "discrediting anybody's knowledge". The fact of the matter is that he was giving this fish unnecessary surgery. He decided he didn't like how the fish's fins looked, so de decided to dose his animal with a substance used to euthanise them, keep it out of the water for a prolonged period of time and risk cutting away at the fish's fins, just because he wanted them to look nicer.

That doesn't scream "I am doing this because I am compassionate, caring and I only want what is best for my fish." And the only reason I mention the death of the fish is because, as I said, Asian arowana just really aren't suited to life in a tank, they get much too big. You'd need a tank the size of what you'd find in a public aquarium in order to REALLY be providing them with adequate space. A lot of the reason that a lot of fish jump in their tanks is because they feel cramped and want more space.

Nothing I have said has been malicious or incorrect, he just really isn't acting for his fish's best interests in this video.
Megan Gaither
Megan Gaither - 7 years ago
The fish was in a 2000g Aquarium when that incident occurred, and for you to say that Joey wasn't a caring owner because of this and the accident that occurred later on with Buddy is really rude of you. He CLEARLY cares about his animals and their well being as he has done everything humanely and painlessly for the animals. Fin trimming is routine in many larger fish breeds in both small and large tanks. It actually is more beneficial to the fish in cases where the fins are deformed or torn as they can effect the fishes swimming and the fins can be more fragile and tear more easily due to the structure of them.

Shame on you for trying to discredit Joey's knowledge and compassion by using Buddy as an example so soon after that incident. Really classless.
Rumer Priestly
Rumer Priestly - 7 years ago
Aly Schroeder I mean, if he was REALLY that caring, he wouldn't be giving his fish unnecessary surgery, and this fish ended up dying because he was leaping out of his tank, they need so much space and grow so big, they're not really suited for tank life.

Voluntarist

The amount of dissolved oxygen is already at 100% in the water, if the air stone has been running. Putting the fish under bubbles will only make it harder for the fish to breathe, no? That's probably why it took so long.
Jonathon Lastname
Jonathon Lastname - 8 years ago
+Tyshef he was trying to get the fish stimulated so it would start breathing in proper water tho.
Tyshef
Tyshef - 8 years ago
you're correct, a bubble stone is like if you put a hi power leaf blower in front of your outhouse and attempt to breath. a better idea is to use a small low power pump, or hold the fish and simulate it's swimming motion.
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 8 years ago
+Voluntarist The point of the bubbles it to force water over its gills. Typically a small is used to pump water into its mouth and pump water over the gills, but this does a similar job. It has nothing to do with what you said. Had I done nothing, the fish would have taken longer to revive.

I've put fish to sleep using Clove oil, but I've never had the nerve to use it as an anaesthetic for an operation. You did that exceptionally well. I don't blame you for being nervous, I would have been too. Excellent video.

I caught some 4 inch Texas Shiner minnows in lake Houston and threw them in my 50 gallon. they developed these tube worm parasites that bored into their skulls. I put the minnows in a small container and with small tweezers grasped and plucked the worms out of their heads , it was almost as if the minnows wanted me to do it. Sometimes all I had to do was grasp the tube worm and the fish would yank he's head away pulling free, a very disturbing feeling when you experience it. However, they later died in the following days

I had to preform fin surgery on my elephant ear betta when he became a senior fish and was having a hard time getting around. My hands were trembling too because he was so tiny and I was terrified of hurting him. He swam so much better afterwards though! Returned right back to his old self. I recommend it for anyone with a Betta that is too weak or old to carry their heavy fins. I've seen it so much with the EE or HM heavy fin variety and it really does help. This was a great video and your fish is absolutely stunning.

I was wondering, when using your clove oil why you don't use the medicated amount of clove oil in a bottle with a small amount of hot water in it. I find mixing it with hot water and shaking it breaks up the oil a lot easier and it becomes a white milky liquid. I use this method for euthanasia though not sedation. Is there any difference?

+Elijah Whistler I had a turtle that loved to cuddle!  she was an old lady though by the time I got her, so I only had her about 20 years.  She seemed very wise!  I had one fish that ended up having a stroke when he got elderly...and would swim on his side and lay on the bottomon his side...but he;d still come up to eat and act happy about itt!  He lived for a long time after that...months or years I cnat remember.  He had a little friend in that tank that I got around the same time and they7 were pretty inseperable...two old men!  They were tetras-I had them like 8 years, which is really old!  Bettas I think are soe of the most expressive fish as far as personality goes, I have had a bunch of them (because they are a joy to have) and each was different in their own way.  Nice to hear from you!

Bradleyer Westlander
Bradleyer Westlander - 7 years ago
The king of DIY hmm. I've researched that most fish don't have actual working eyelids. A few rare species do. Their sleeping involves floating, fidgeting every now and again to remain upright. Or going sideways and floating to the top, but that's usually accidental and going out of water wakes them up.
I have tiger barbs, they freak out in pitch dark, and first light agitates them. I do let the natural light do its job in the morning (not direct sunlight but bedroom light and distant sunlight). They do, however, respond to my bedroom light turning on and off and associate the light off with resting time and get under the plants and still.

Nothing to do with the video itself but I really love the subdued lighting on that aquarium. It reminds me of the shark tunnel at the Baltimore Aquarium. The sharks slowly swim around the cylindrical cylinder. The lighting isn't very intense with gives it a suspenseful feel. Also, there are large sections of window separated by big beams. You can sit right next to one of the beams and as the shark comes around all of a sudden you'll see thousands of teeth right in front of you. It's fun!

I'd be so nervous to try this but you seem to have done a good job. Of course you make all of this look easy. Nice job Joey

I imagine you could use this knock-out method to remove a very infected fin-rotty part of fin, would that help clear up a fin rot situation?

Have there been negative effects to the clove oil residue that's now in the main tank? Or is it too little to be a factor?

Does the dosage change depending on the size of the fish? I would like to perform this on my powder blue gourami (with tiny scissors or a blade).

Also, thank you so much for this and all of your videos! You really help to move the hobby forward at an exponential rate for us newbies.
