Ur fish is an aro?

If it is, you might want try Furan -G.

Works for me. I Use 1/2 pack for 200L of water. Treat for 5 times. WC everyday 50% and add another 1/2 pack after every WC. Heater 31 degrees and some salt.

My aro recovered. But take note that relapse is possible once stressed.

are the lateral lines affected ?
imo, the small little holes can be "sealed" up quite fast and easy with good water perimeters and wc but the enlarged holes along the lateral lines are quite tacky.
It doesnt covers up as fast and as such, you dunno whether the hole in the head disease is cured or not ...

It's a snakehead, noticed that it had a hole on it's head and currently afew more had appeared also.

I am not sure if medication should be use or should i try to let it heal itself. As it is still very active and eating greedy. But will this disease spread to other fishes?
