Pentobarbital sodium and attack behavior in male Siamese fighting fish

, and . Psychopharmacology, 69 (2): 207--208 (July 1980)

Abstract

Pairs of fish fought while immersed in 20 mu g/ml or 40 mu g/ml pentobarbital sodium or plain water. The 40 mu g/ml group showed significantly less attack (e.g., biting, jaw locking) than either control or low dose groups without producing a change in general arousal. Quasisexual behavior, seen in an earlier chlordiazepoxide study, did not occur.
