    Russia? I love Russia!!! I especially love how cheap it is to vacation there, lol...

    Isopropyl isn't an issue and acts like a solvent to help disperse the medication evenly. Also an antiseptic.

    Polysorbate acts in the same way as isopropyl but not an antiseptic.

    Blue peptide I believe is a collagen. This may help with clotting an open wound.

    Butane is the accelerant.

    I don't see anything that would harm your fish. Just keep in mind to find one course of action and stick to it. Every time you net the fish and remove it from the water, you add to the stress of an already compromised discus...

    Good to hear! I'm afraid that the expert is of the opinion that the fish doesn't have a good chance of recovery. But you are certainly doing everything in your power to help her. I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.

    When I was fishing her out today she was flopping a lot, flooded my desk. Yesterday she would flop once then wait and let me do anything I want and then wait for me to put her back in the water. Good thing she is healing up. I honestly don’t know either if she will make it but it’s worth a try, eh? I’m going to try my best and all I ask of you guys is to keep giving me such wonderful advice. thank you

    Looking super good right now, the whole wound has a growth of skin covering the flesh. It’s still a hole, I don’t know if it will fill up there is only one tiny flesh spot left.


    I plan on breeding this pair, how do I stimulate them to lay eggs? I have heard a cooler water change but I have tried that unsuccessfully. I think after she recovers I will feed a lot more and maybe buy some roobios tea .
