Help please

[Alex T]

Hello everybody
I just bought an Oscar and a golden loach today from someone and I noticed when I got home that they have some weird stuff on them: the Oscar has some holes all over his body and the loach some brownish stuff on the head..
TBH I don’t think it’s normal can someone help please?
Thanks

Oscar may have problems frompoor water quality, just keep your water clean.

Not sure what's going on with the loach

The Oscar has what is known as Hole in the Head disease. The Oscar's condition comes from improper maintenance. The Nitrate level when keeping species prone to HITH must be maintained at the lowest level possible. As for the Golden Loach I don't know Tbh.

The loach may have a deformity or it might have been articles by another fish and got infected
