Thank you for your advice. I think that is going to be the route I take, the qt to make sure (with the heat) and then gradually depending on his reaction move him into the big tank. I looked into a few online places (I don't think aquabid or the other one you mentioned was any of them) I found that they either don't ship to Canada or that if they do it will cost me the same price as the fish itself. :-( I went around today to the lfs and my discus is looking pretty sad. I don't know if he's going to pull through :-( can you believe it makes it through culminarus to possibly be taken down by ich?? Crazy!
