I have an 8inch male Red Devil, who is showing alot of symptoms of very severe Hole in the Head. I want to know, cause most people think HITH is a casue of lack of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) due to an over accumulation of the enzyme Thiaminase (which breaks down Vitamin B1). after doing some research, the best food sources containing B1 are mostly pork and different kinds of liver. My question is... If I started using raw store bought chicken liver (which most fish love) would that possibly help fight the enzyme thiaminase, and start regaining healthy levels of Vitamin B1?? any thoughts?
Thanks everybody
 
Yes it will help. Extra clean water helps. keep any fish that might cause stress to him out. Feed high quality pellets some liver is fine.

I cleared up a mild case of hith with differant types of good food. with extra WC and no stress.
