In defence of the owner HITH can spring up when you least expect it. I think some oscars are just prone to get it, maybe it's all the inbreeding that's gone on over the decades in fish farms. Water quality is not the only thing that can cause it, a bad diet could as well. That's where my defence ends though because HITH is not very difficult to cure. More water changes and a better diet would cure that up, it's really sad that the owner let it got that bad.
