Cheesejawa Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Does hex or hole in the head affect angels? I got the angel yesterday with one other. On the way home It attacked the bag and the other angel. Once in the tank it seems fine most of the time but it hides behind the filter a bit and sometimes swims erraticly? The hole Itself looks like a single, small white hole on the side of its head. I does not look like whitespot. Do you think my angel is sick? How can I treat it?

Faran Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hex can affect any fish, particularly cichlids from anywhere in the world. Best treated with Metronidazole http://article.dphnet.com/cat-02/spironucleus.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 it seems to not have the spot anymore but it still attacking the other. LFS suggested it might be male and is agro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Sorry, didn't read the whole post there. Fish suffering from hex act much like you would with an upset tummy. They hide and sulk a lot and are picked on rather than being agro. Erratic swimming sounds like territorial display or perhaps a bung fin. Give it a couple days and keep an eye on it.
