Hi all,

I bought a used tank about a week ago which contains an oscar fish, with
what I believe is hole in the head disease.  I purchased some medicine
called Hole in the Head Guard and was wondering if anyone has experience
with this medicine or not.  Does it work?  It looks like a complicated
procedure for using it, and I only have a few days experience with oscars,
but I have already fallen in love with this fish.  I would hate it if he
died.  do they die from hole in the head disease?  Thanks and any help would
be greatly appreciated.
