  • just because your water is clean doesnt mean the valuse are correct,you need to test to know whats going on in theenviroment, kh, dh, ph, amonia, its worth it and the tests are cheap, save you loosing fish, ive never have had an oscar die, and i do a weekly test, up to you what you do

  • i have and had a test kit buddy.they were sick before i got them at least one ones.

  • Hello,I am curious to know what would happen when these oscars have holes in their heads...

  • you mean the disease. well don't think you can cure them.well i couldn't.you will see holes around there head. some will look white craters some times they look different. and they will stop eating not rite away but at some point.

  • Yes. Hole in the head can easily be cured with frequent water changes. Almost every oscar gets it at least once in their life, and it normally isn't a big deal, unless the water quality is terrible. Also, Im sorry to say these guys didn't have a great chance at being healthy in a 90. You really need a 125 or larger unless you change the water very frequently.

    just my 2 cents.

  • thanks for your two cents but no i don't think you cure the fish of hith from frequent water changes.and my water was alway CLEAN!!!! had testing kit never any probs with the water. soooooooooooooo there my two cents

see all

  • Cute lil' puppies.

  • 90 gallons is plenty big for 2 oscar. american are the only people with that standard. i have 6 oscars in a 100 gallons for 4 years without any disease or death. water check out pretty clean too. and it only run on 2 aqua clear 110 and and 2 powerheads

  • simple put to actually cure this disease i remeber reading some articles about this in tfh or now as the tropical fish hobbyist magazine.

  • nice check out mine

  • @whothq18 If your fish does develop Hole in the Head Disease then act quickly by first carrying out a water test. If your fish has got this disease then the chances are it is your water conditions that are causing the problem, it is extremely uncommon for fish to develop this disease for no reason.

  • Athenewins fan? Bracksucks FTW!

  • Just a small tip, check out EM-ceramics

    This is effective microbacteria, may be of help.

    Nice vid, they are interactive fish.

  • to combat hole in the head in oscars they need vit c, nutrafin pellets contain vit c, or buy vit tabs from a good fish stockist
