TOPIC: My fish has a hole

My fish has a hole 4 years, 3 months ago #10805

Hello last night i heard a dip in the tank like he dove really fast in the water, and this morning he has a flaking hole in his head.....now hes a baby and hes always eager to eat, he seems to be moping now, is he sad because he hurt himself or does he have HITH?

Help...

Oscars often injure themselves occassionally, there's no need to panic, if it is a cut it will heal naturally if u keep your nitrates down. Keep the water clean and it will be healed soon. A picure would be helpful.

Even the more severe injuries will begin to heal very qucikly and within 2-3 days look better and are hardly visible within a week. I would recomend doing more water changes, every other day 25-35% and adding stresscoat and if you don't have other fish or plants to worry about some freshwater aquarium salt after every water change. These measure should ensure that the wound heals quickly with no infection.

This is a common problem especially with younger oscars. As long as your water quality is good your fish should heal up quite quickly, you will notice the difference every day
