ive had my oscar for 4 years now without a problem. ive added a couple of tank mates a week ago and now my oscar has small cuts in its body. is there a way of knowing the difference between HITH and just cuts from fighting.

From your description it doesn't sound like hole in the head disease. However, just to be on the safe side, please post a photograph so we can have a look for ourselves.

Can't tell ya without a pic bud

hhmmmm.... HITH usually looks more like small holes that get larger than cuts
