worried snake head owner

[jasonb]

been keeping my snake head for about 2 years now, he has always been healthy smooth scales brilliant colors ect. but a few days i noticed that a small patch of scales on his head were missing, i ignored thinking he banged himself chasing his food, well now he has i bunch of blotches of missing scales, and i'm freaking out could it be from bad water conditions do i need to change something, maybe he caught a fungus from the feeders? any suggestions

What kind of Channa, what size tank, what food and VERY IMPORTANT, water params? (temp, ph filtration, ammonia levels etc)
Also posting a photo will help immensely!

If you have to ask whats highlighted in orange, chances are your not doing enough water changes.

Also, if your worried it might be the feeders, grow your own feeders or feed frozen foods...why take the risk?

if they tend to jump, it may be just from hitting there head on lid..?
