Never accept free fish :(

when you say someone gave you free fishes whos someone? haha i generally don't accept free fish from hobos and strangers and such
The real question is, "Why did you accept sick fish?". Somebody tries to offer me crap in a bucket, I send them packing with their bucket and its crap. But they can come over tomorrow and shoot the breeze. It's not big deal. People are douchy. That's life.
First off that friend is stupid. Hith is not bad and if it's small holes will
clear up in a month or a few weeks with proper care. Hith is due to poor water quality and poor diet the fish can still be fine if you care for them right.
Another reason way your friend is stupid he did not have to take the fish and should have looked at them before saying he would take them.
Did any of his other fish die because of it? If not what's the big deal?
Another thing did he wait to tell you about HITH? Or did he freak out right when you brought them to him.
I got free fish that had HITH nurses them to health and you can't even tell they ever had it. So I know hith is not a big deal and does not mean the fish is sick just means he was kept in poor conditions.
That so called friend is sounds like a jerk it's not like you were trying to sell him sick fish you just wanted to give him fish in hopes that he would help them.
And did you see the holes are they the size of pin holes? He might just be seeing the sensory pits all fish have them and they are easy to see on large fish.
You should post a photo of these so called sick fish.

i dont know what all the fuss is about. if the fish are sick. even if the one geting them doesnt know much, it is better than where there comeing from. free is free and that is hard to come by. with proper care they will be fine no problems. chances are most free fish that i have seen anyway where not 100%, they where either geting picked on, to big for there tank, or just being neglected. i would take them home, do some research an bring them back to life. i would tell ur friend if he dont want them then give them back, all it takes is care to bring them to health. so if he got a problem why did he take them lol. i think the guy is just trying to act like he knows what he is talking about. kinda like what im doing right now 
that has nothing to do with you... they were given to you... the guy that you got them from probably knew they were sick and didnt want to deal with them so he pawned them off on you... and if your friend got all upset cause the fish were sick and you gave them to you then he probably wasnt that great of a friend to begin with... i have received many a fish from strangers and they have trived... dont worry about it friend
Lesson Learned: quarantine new fish--free or not.
I think both you and your buddy should have quarantined the oscars.
