Hi, currently I ceased breeding discus fish. No time and room for this. If I ever go back to keeping discus - you never know :)

As for metronidazole and it's derivations - this is only medication effectively fighting internal flagellata (and also some other protozoa in aquarium water), so when used properly - it can free your fish from those parasites. However notice that fish which was strongly infested by flagellata even cured may be forever weaker than fish which wasn't infested as much or wasn't infested at all.

If everything goes fine fish should remain in high temperature for three days or shorter when fish start act fairly stressed. After that time just lower extra-heating and let the temperature decrease slowly, but not too fast. 24 hours or a bit longer will be ok.

As for temperature - such temperature would also kill the fish.. Water must be very clear, with no large bio-load. The only tank suitable for temperature treatment is bare-bottom one. Aeration must be strong and temperature value should be measured by reliable device ;). The procedure of increasing temperature should go not faster than 1 centigrade per hour. In case of notice of any abnormal behaviour of fish increase of temperature should be stopped.

Briefly - hole in the head may be a result of strong internal-flagellata infestation which also causes ~vitamin-mineral deficiency, because flagellates discriminate performance of internal organs. There may be bacterial infections as well (blah blah ;)).

~Browns are fraction of issue from .. Marlboro pair :). Pidgeon and Marlboro descend from the same parents. Snakes are from another source. I love them all anyway :D
