Subject: Anaesthetics for fish?

I had recently heard through a frienf about a new anaesthetic
that is used in Australia called Aquiesce or Aqua-S. This drug is
vegetable based and a lot safer for fish and consumers (of fish)
alike. 

MS-222 is the current drug of choice, but in many places you
can't use it where fish have the chance of being comsumed within
a 21 day period afterwards.

If anyone knows anything about this new drug or a similar one,
please respond to the newsgroup or e-mail me at
