Hi, so I have two oscars and I started to notice some pits developing around their face and head. I did some research and I believe it is hole in head disease. It wasn’t an extreme case in either of them, it was very mild. I ended up buying API General Cure(which is Metronidazole and Praziquantel) and dosed the tank according to the instructions. After the first set of doses I noticed improvement in them, but after a couple days one of the most noticeable pits in my male started to worsen. So, I ended up dosing the tank again. Now, my female is totally healed up from what I can see, and my male is all healed up, except for one specific hole that doesn’t want to clear up.
I was just wondering if anyone would recommend anything besides water changes to help him. I don’t know why all the other areas have healed up on both of them except that one spot.
He’s still eating like crazy and acting like himself.
Also when I was researching causes some people were saying activated carbon can cause it? Others were saying it can’t. I was wondering what some of you think about that because I have activated carbon in my filters.
Thank you!!
