when i looked at my senegal bichir's head really close he had little holes all over his head, could this be HITH or just sensory pits?
 
try posting pics. It seems unlikely that it is HITH, but then agani I don't think bichirs have sensory pits. Snakes and sharks have that
 
oscars have sensory pits to, i'll try to get some pictures up asap but my bichir is a little small (probably about 3inch) so i need to find a good camera.
 
They are sensory pits, but if they start getting larger and larger, then it has HITH. The HITH in oscars also begins in the sensory pits.
 
Probably part of the lateral line Pics might help determine if theres a problem tho-Anne
