- While I never used Paragon II on an Oscar I have used it on Gold Severums
- with hole-in-the-head. I was very happy with the results. I had Two
- Gold Severums that developed holes in their head about the size of a BB.
- I was actually surprised at how fast the holes developed.
-
- I removed all of the GAC from the filters and treated with Paragon II
- after a 50% water change. The holes in both of them healed up in a couple
- of days. I would try in with an Oscar if it were mine.
