My male blue ram has just developed hole in the head, can i cure/treat this disease?
Answer Hello Amy- Sorry for the long wait! AllExperts did not put in my vacation time correctly, so I am just now getting your question. 🙁 This is called Hole-in-the-head disease, and if treated properly, your little guy will live. This is the information from another fish site about the disease (as I do not know much about it myself) Head and Lateral Line Disease is attributed to a nutritional deficiency of one or more of: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus. It is thought to be caused by a poor diet or lack of variety, lack of partial water changes, or over filtration with chemical media such as activated carbon. HLLE has been reversed by one or more of the following treatments: * Increase frequent water changes. * Add vitamins to frozen foods. * Add the addition of flake foods, as they are enriched with vitamins. * Add greens, either frozen or in leaf form, to the diet. * Decrease the amount of beef heart as it lacks many critical nutrients. * Remove activated carbon filt
