I know you agree
i think my fish look best from the top view vetry few people post pics this way though, sorry i do't know about the hole in head, it doesn't look like pictures i've seen but the tend to show advanced cases in the books so it's hard to tell

That doesn't look like HITH to me, but it could turn into it. Is it just odd coloring on the scales, or is it actually holes?
I just had a gourami die of HITH about an hour ago

It's just discolored. No holes or bumps. It's gone away a lot since he's been in the tank. He hangs out with the paradise. it's cute.
didn't realize gouramis got HITH I thought that was an oscar thing.
My old oscars actually died of HITH I didn't know it was a disease at the time since all 4 had it I thought it was something to do with the way they grew and the holes were very very small.

I was a little concerned about my Gold Gourami for a while. He had that same discoloring thing.........sort of dark brown or black markings on scales and a little on fin, sort of looks like what your gourami has 
. He was in the 55 gallon while I was treating it for fungus and I noticed NO difference with the Gold gourami's wierd cloration thing after treating......I've also since then put him in his own 10 gallon and treated it for tail/fin rot and that didn't help the coloration either, maybe a teenie-weensie bit it did, but I'm not sure.
Maybe it's just a gourami "thang"!!

Glowlight danios?? I've never heard of such a thing! Are they just a new color strain of zebras or leopards? They're beautiful though, I wish they had them around here, I'd have to get a few.

Their really neat! They have an orange stripe like a glowlight tetra at the base of their tail and then the males get orange vertical stripes and females have a shimmery rainbow color. It's really cool. I got one male and one female.
They have been around for a while but are just now starting to become more common. It's the first time I've seen them anywhere around here so I snatched two little beauties.
The scientific name is Danio choprae. Here is a google picture search, it shows some nice males.

He probably just scraped his head on something.

I know you agree
if they are the one i'm thinking of glowlights are modified are they not crossed with some sort of anemone, they are still not sold in canada, a lfs brought them in but the government won't let them sell them yet
