Any recommendation how you should treat the result of some fighting between discus?

aquarium salt and a lot of WC daily.

I have found that daily water changes of 50% is enough to heal most of my fishes war wounds within 3-4 days at most. I don't add anything special in terms of salt or meds. I deal mainly with torn fins, chewed up lips and messed up scales. Also the occasional gouge after running into something. I try to practice patience and just keep an eye on them. You'll know within a day if they are on the mend. However, if you have especially deep cuts or start to see fuzzy growths appear, you may want to do more. I never have, though. Good luck! I think mine get bored when it's too calm for too long. :-)

Water change, water change, water change. That in my
Opinion is the greatest cure for discus. Rufus

I agree. if I change any more water they may as well be living in a stream.
