I have certainly never heard of it being responsible for hole in the head. In my opinion, that is a stress related problem - not food.

Also I agree with Anita re: HITH disease. It is almost certainly stress related - anyway it is relatively rare in africans.

I agree blood worm is fine to feed to most fish. My wife feeds it to her oscars every day and there fine and healthy.

<br>

<br>

I agree that HITH is caused by the protozoan you mention - however - I think if you tested the water of most tanks you'd fine Hexamita present... I think it is an opportunistic pathogen only infected stressed fish
