there is no visible damage in frontal picture, thus, probably it is just
nostril pit but you have good looking red huh!

Are they two holes evenly spaced between the eyes??? Those are sensory pits... If you are refering to something else... I will need a clearer pic.

ya then theres a bigger hole in the middle of those 2 trying to get a better pic but fish will not stay still

there are times short video capture better visual aid
of moving fishes.

Here's a pic of the sensory pits, which are normal on Oscars.



Does it look like this?

@Noddy- those group of small dots surrounding the eye are sensory pits? I notice them on my O but I didn't know that. And I see a group of them but not much like that that they surround the eye or maybe I just haven't noticed them. Mine's a Lutino so it's a bit hard to see those little dots.

In the 1st 2 pics it looks like your fish had a wound that is nearly healed. I wouldnt of noticed it if you hadnt mentioned. Has your fish had an injury recently
