<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What is Heximita? ==<br />
[[Image:Oscar-HITH.jpg|right|thumb|[[Oscar]] which has died from HITH]]<br />
'''Heximita''' is a [[flagellates|flagellate]] [[protozoa]] and is the underlining cause of the disease in fish called 'Hole in the Head' (HITH).<br />
<br />
This disease is said to affect mainly [[cichlids]], though [[:category:Gourami|gourami]] are also affected.<br />
<br />
This protozoa is usually constantly living in the average aquarium fish at low levels and causes no harm until the fish's health is compromised.<br />
<br />
==Symptoms==<br />
First, the fish will develop small, grey, pin-hole abrasions around the eyes and head. These lesions will grow in size and if not treated, will eventually kill the fish as it eats into its flesh.<br />
The fish may also behave in a different manner, hiding in a corner and sulking.<br />
<br />
==Cause==<br />
The protozoa hexamita was once believed to be the main cause of 'Hole in the Head', but has since been debunked as a major factor.<br />
<br />
Usually the main cause stems from either bad water quality or malnutrition, both of which compromise the animal's immune system and allow this protozoa and bacteria to infect the fish.<br />
<br />
==Treatment==<br />
*Better water quality.<br />
*Better and more varied food for the animal.<br />
*Adding a chemical to kill the heximita and secondary bacterial infection.<br />
