Discus Hole In The Head. (Hith)

[Avinitlarge]

Ive just noticed one of my discus has HITH. Ive got some treatment on the way but im in a bit of a pickle. I have 2 discus in my main tank and 2 discus that Ive had for 10 days in my quaranteen tank. The Discus with HITH is in my main tank. I know Hith is contagious but is it passed through the water or is it just passed from fish to fish??

hith can be caused by bacteria, but usually due to lack of vitamins in the diet. get some liquid baby vitamins from the pharmacy and dose the food. see if that helps. may take a few weeks to see a difference.
if it does not appear to be helping, time to suspect the bacterial route, which is a little more difficult to treat.
all the best
cheers

Hmmm, I am struggling to get them to eat. All they will eat is bloodworm. Ive tried all sorts but they will only eat the blood worm
