Oscar is sick

[strawhoney]

Hello everybody,

My oscar is sick. I think it's a disease by the name of "hole in the head"...he has tiny holes in his head..and we used paragon to cure the disease..it's been okay for the past few days...

do you guys have any other alternatives, as in, extra vitamins or any other medications that can help cure the disease?

Thanks in advance folks!

Sorry to hear bout yr sick oscar. I've got oscars myself but the only problem they have are missing scales frm the fights!

You can try Jungle Parasites as well as Melafix which is a natural remedy for fixing up fin rot as well as preventing further deterioration.

Hope this helps.

Have kept oscars for many years now, "hole in the head" is very commom and very easy to treat.
My oscars seem to get it after feeding them live food such as goldfish etc.
You can get a tablet type of medicine (sorry, can't remember the name ) specifically for hole in the head, & if you get a dead goldfish and insert the tablet into that, Mr oscar will eat the whole lot! job done!!

Don't worry too much , hole in the head is very common.

Hope this helps,

Nick.
