aquabrain Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 There are many potential reasons for HITH. Nobody really knows what causes it. A fresher, more varied diet did the trick for my fish. I also did a full course treatment with praziquantel and metronidazole. The holes took a month to heal, though.

RD. Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 aquabrain is correct, there are a number of potential causes that can trigger a case of HITH. If hexamita is suspected, then the protozoa involved will typically be spironucleus vortens. The safest & most cost effective way to eliminate spironucleus from a fish can be found in the following link. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=29679 Good luck.
