Does one use medication for hole in the head. I think that the carbon would absorb the meds...but yeah, he didn't mention meds, so I'm not sure why no carbon if for anything but that.

Probably gonna need to do more water changes, currently doing water changes twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays about 30%.
After doing a little more research on hole in the head (HLLE), it could be contributed to poor water quality, poor nutrition and carbon could remove the minerals found in water to heal HLLE. Nitrates are fine (5 to 10) in my tank. Currently have been trying to feed the dats off feeder guppies and frozen blood worms. That could be the reason why. Good thing they started to accept chopped earthworms.
Definitely going to remove carbon, put salt and do more water changes at higher quantity.

Yup water nutrition is essential and the most important is giving them a balanced diet no feeder goldfish. Give them some thing rich in vitamins especially vitamin C
Carbon seems to play a part in it.. Something about it irritates the hexamites I think their called. I haven't used carbon since 08. I use salt, pimafix and melafix if my fish get injuries and water changes. The whole use carbon to take out meds is a waste if you do big enough water changes like 75% the week of the meds ...you'll take almost all just that week and the next week ... This is what works for me and has since
