Does this look like hole in the head or just sensory pits?
I have two oscars in a 125 gal sorry for the bad photo he would not stop moving

Looks fine to me. Nares and sensory "pits".

sorry I have one more question This is my other oscar I believe I have a pair and she seems to be getting picked on a little Is this just from fighting or is it HITH thanks

 

[Monstermikefishkeeper]

That to me looks as though it is HITH in the early stages of the illness.

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

Are you sure? My other oscar is fine if one has it shouldent the other? Not saying your wrong just wondering

 

[Monstermikefishkeeper]

I got you. The health of the fish is going to vary with the individual fish's health. So what I mean is one may have a weaker immune system than the other and the HITH may show upm earlier and much more prevelant in that regard. Good luck stay healthy

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

Thanks you

 

[Monstermikefishkeeper]
