Hole-in-the-head

[cichlidluver]

I recently moved one of my kribensis into my 5 gal with her 3 babies, and I think she is suffering from hole-in-the head. She has what looks like lumps on her head. I first thought it was a fungus, because my fish recently went through a bout of illness , is over with , and this strange thing with my krib started before I moved her, as a bump near her mouth. None of her babies seem to be suffering from it, they are all perfectly healthy , but I would really like to save her!!!

It's not hole in the head as that starts of as pitting, could be bacterial, no flicking and rubbing against objects.

aww, poor fishy, I hope you figure out what it is. My oscar had hole-in-the-head and it started out as just that - a hole.

If hole in the head is left untreated for ages it will turn into a hole.
