I put all of the fish in about a 1/2 gallon of water and added several drops of the clove oil and swirled it around good. Within 3-5 seconds they stopped moving. About 4 hours later I poured it out over the top of our brush pile to burn. I was really pleased with how fast it was and easy and inexpensive too. I have enough clove oil to off plenty of them for years to come as I need to thin them out. So my next question--
do they make birth control for goldfish ?
