NewKiwi1 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hello. One one my pond goldfish has a gash or shallow white hole centered on its head more or less where a person's nose would be. He's had it for almost two months now. It doesn't appear infected. Otherwise the fish appears healthy, eats well and is active in the water. All the other fish are fine. I treated the pond for several weeks with Melafix and Stresscoat+ solution, and there hasn't been any change, hole hasn't gotten bigger, but neither has it healed. Could this be the dreaded hole-in-the-head disease? It doesn't look like HITH photos I see online. Any ideas, including on how to treat it? Thank you very much.

Caryl Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Not sure if goldfish can get HITH. I believe it is a number of holes, not a single one too. If it is well and active I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
