My Texas cichlid (the one in my avatar) seems to have hole in the head. I started to notice what almost looked like a sun burn on my fish, where you get a blister and the skin peels around it. the scales were all there and my fish looked normal but at some angles you could see a white outline. I passed it off as just a cut or bite from another Cichlid. I just checked my tank and on his head I noticed a white sore - pictures on the way.
All my Cichlids don't seem hungry, I added salt, doing a water change as I type this, pictures on the way, any suggestions help?
I am relatively new to fish keeping and as such have very little experience dealing with fish illnesses. Thank you in advance
 
Okay, it might be hole-in-the head disease, it's due to feeding unhealthy goldfish. I'm not pro about cichlids, but that might be it.
