yellow Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 does anyone know if curing hole in the head disease makes the pitts in the head go away or does it just prevent them from getting bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Usually once they have that deadly disease they die a slow death. If you manage to save one then it will be scarred. From what I have seen in Oscars anyway, they get the hole under the skin. Then the skin peels off to show a cavity that has been forming for a while. Good luck with that one.

Ducksta Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 The pits definately do scar, they never actually disappear IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 To my knowledge if you do manage to save a fish with HIH the cavity usually stays there. The tissue around it may gradually repair to some extent however the "hole" as it were is still noticeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
