what he said was that this treatment, that is normally given to Discus fish when they have hole-in-the-head disease, also has been shown to act as a mild appetite stimulant
I'm fairly certain, that hole-in-the head disease is caused by lowered immune response due to stress and that it ends up being a bacterial infection. So I imagine the stuff must be some mild antibiotic.

The idiotic thing is that when he first mentioned the treatment I knew what he was talking about. I may just have to bug him again.

If my chemistry teacher hadn't been some WWII survivor, who was more interested in toxic warfare than teaching us the basics, I might have gone on to study bio sciences. Curse that damn war and all the others.

I any case . . . even if I don't figure it out it's not a big deal. He didn't think it was something I need to do, just something I could do.
