Clownfish Eye Gas Bubble Lancing

http://ReefBuilders.com is the source for all your reef aquarium news. This video is not for the squeamish. A 29 gauge diabetic syringe is used to pierce the skin around the eye of a blue-stripe clownfish and then the plunger is pulled to remove the gas.

wow that shit looks pain full does that usually happen to clarkiis or all clownfish and what coses it hope my clarkii doesnt get that great vid though.

Please refrain from using profanity when it is not called for, please edit your post. No this is not a common ailment so you shouldnt have to worry about a clarkii clownfish developing this.

ok what do you mean at the first part of your comment ?

great video - never seen that before, how did you get your clownfish so calm and still?

[DjArpegius]

if I did that, I would have accidentally stabbed his eye. You have nice steady hands. I don't.

Nice job. Happy little fishy.

sorry about that, that has to be hard to do, how often do you do that and how did your fish contract such a issue.

Fish says: Thanks...

@MrPotter37 Didn't u read my comment saying that is wasn't me? Don't disrespect me if u don't know what i was talking about.

[MrPotter37]

@greeneyetrex it means he doesnt like swearing duhhhh

[couleurpourlecorp]

that was actually fantastic, very easy on the fish it looks like.

its not worth giving your fish an infection and dieing. worst thing that happens if you let it be is the fish looses the eye. which isnt that bad. i know plenty of people with one eyed fish that do just as good as ones with two. you can do it but leaving it alone wont kill the fish either.
