Is this Hole in the head?

[randomguy1191]

I woke up this morning to find my GT with some damage on his head. He didn't have this last night. There's one other fish in tank, so it could be damage from fighting, but I don't want to take chances. Should I be concerned? Pics included.

Looks more like he took a rock on at speed..

My oscars have them regularly from digging in the gravel.

Agreed, it's a scar.

not a scar but scales knocked loose.

hole-in-the-head looks like erosion or pits in the skin and usually starts around the eyes or lateral line. it is similar to HLLE in saltwater fish.

+1. I agree. HITH starts about where youd think the temple of our head would be on a fish. Brookster is also right with the clean water, good food. Will speed up recovery.
