Goldfish hole head that started as an abscess
Goldfish hole head is a serious condition that often leads to death. The condition is caused by bad bacteria infection. In most cases, it’s a sign that the tank or pond water isn’t properly maintained; the water quality poor. The aquarium set ups sold at pet shops are designed for tropical freshwater fish, not goldfish. Aquariums are typically covered which cuts off oxygen from the water
Oxygenated water discourages bad bacteria from forming
Use Oop Boost to oxygenate water
Oxygen is the biggest defense from harmful bacteria. Bad bugs are always present, just waiting to get a foothold. Water rich in oxygen and minerals is healthy water. Healthy fish live in healthy water. Healthy water helps to build the immune system of the fish and the ecosystem
Magnesium and calcium make up the general hardness of water. These minerals give fish vitality and longevity
