I was searching and found this great info on hole in the head..... It should be pinned .

www.worldcichlids.com/diseases/Adamhith.html

There are tons of articles on this on the Internet. I had a quick scan and it reads quite well. However, we've got our own information on the subject so I don't feel the need to to have another one as a sticky. But thanks for sharing it anyway.I am sure people will appreciate any information they can find on the subject

i totally agree with OFL on this. i observed that rattled people
will usually ask question in the forum rather than scroll and search
for such an articles related to the problem. i also observed that most
hobbyist recommend step #1 and #2 for the first approached in the problem.

anyway, the link you posted will definitely be used and recommended as the
days moved on. thanks for the info.

the pics on that link look sad...

yes i know... it just hurts to see them like that

i concur with the boss and paul........

Actually, if you go to my thread "All about HITH/HLLE" you'll find it is already sort-of-pinned since it is listed in the FURTHER READING section.

I made a DIY fish food recipe yesterday from the site listed above, it stunk up the kitchen something awful but he did eat it up this morning. I made half the recipe and it still made a gallon size ziploc full. Only thing I couldn't find beef heart so I used beef liver instead.

replace hearth with hearth

i mean you should have tried goat or chicken (although very small)

liver is a messy part of meat. it will make your tank cloudy.
yes, heart to heart. chicken gizzard and heart will do but no
liver. pork spleen could be an alternative. but if you want
one good alternative, use small shrimps, grind and frozen them
with all the ingredients. it will make your fish healthy too.
