This albino Oscar, Tina (we think its a she), has had a pretty bad bout with HITH. She's been treated with Metroplex laced food, API general cure in the water, and 3% epsom salt laden food. She also seems to have some fin rot going on as a secondary infection so the final treatment in the tank...

Hi guys, I've noticed these small circular clusters in my recently purchased Ray pup (it's 4.5"-5" in size) they are around it's eyes and down its body I'm suspecting it's HITH (hole in the head disease). Is this HITH ? I have already treated with Metronidazole for 3 days just as a quarantine...

Here are some pictures i'm not sure

So I noticed a week ago that my green terror won’t eat any food and has small pin sized holes on his head, I’ve been treating general cure as box instructed. But it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, I do a 25% wc twice a week and bumped it to 50%. Nitrates tend to stay at 20/30. I guess my...

I am posting this as information as I am not looking for advice. This is just info. My story. I have 2 oscars over 2 years old on with a Jurupari and 3 silver dollars. Tank is approx. 110 gal. Oscars are always healthy (other than some ich in their younger years). The oscars developed white...

Hello All, I know that there is already a sticky thread for HITH, but I feel that I have exhausted all suggested troubleshooting methods so I am really hoping someone with experience can help me. I imported a flowerhorn from MFishHouseThailand (who btw sold me a fish that already had HITH...

Hi, sorry for the poor photo, the fish is in a poorly lit hospital tank. I am trying to figure out what that hole in the head is. See the white mark on the photo? That's actually a crater in the head... Some context, I got this Flowerhorn 2-3 months ago. Thanks to COVID I didn't have a chance...

Hello can somebody please tell me if this is an injury or illness? I purchased this 4" flagtail a few weeks ago and noticed a mark on his face that looked like a damaged scale. He was kept with two other flagtails and some small cichlids at a reputable store so I thought it was from liplocking...

So, the most recent Christmas, I took a vacation and left one of my friends (who is also in the hobby) in charge. They did a pretty good job, but I think they might’ve over fed a bit. Over the next week, my bluegill develops a nasty case of hole in the head disease, so I put him in a separate 10...

So I was scouring through a Piranha group I know of and noticed someone mentioned that overfeeding could lead to HITH. This got me thinking. So I was interested to find out what other ways and what guidelines I should follow to prevent HITH in Piraya. What do you guys do?

My oscar had this nasal erosion for more than 10 days. Wounds obtained from jumping around are healing but this one is not. The nasal hole a little bigger and i starting to think that it is HITH? Im doing 50% WC twice a week. Water parameters all fine.

I have an RTC with my PB and lately they have been chasing each other around and fighting. The bass has gotten beat up a bit and has these white dots on her head along with some marks. Also, she hasn’t eaten in 2 days. Was wondering if this is potential HITH or if she is just beat up and...

I have a 1+ year old Oscar and I’ve always taken good care of him and his tank with water changes weekly if not twice a week. Recently I noticed some pitting going on on the top of his head and around his nose as seen in the pictures. Over the past two weeks I have changed his diet to include...

Does anyone know if this looks like hole in the head or just scrapes?

Hi already had a post about this but not sure if I properly did it so the fish is in a 80gal with another angel, 2 tilapia, 2 rtm+gt hybrids, 2 peacocks, and a sailfin pleco. Tank has been set up for years both angels have been in the tank for about 5-6 months. Iv been treating with melafix and...

So I picked up a manueli for s good price at the lfs. The fish was on the top shelf so I couldn't see it from the top down. When I got it home I acclimated it to the tank, shut the light off, and left alone until this afternoon when I couldn't resist taking a look at him. I noticed the what...

Hey guys, A few weeks ago I posted a picture of my Redheads with minor HITH. Ive been treating them with meds (metronidazole). Ive been treating them for the recommended time on the packaging, but I want to be sure that the parasite is gone. I was treating them by medicating the aquarium...
