Most of my discus have this, three spots in the first vertical bar behind the eye.

How old are this fish? Very unusually for most of the fish to have hole in the head especially for juveniles.

4-5 months?
fyi, this tank had angelfish prior to discus. (and other species as well).

AND it is all in the same place on the fish, so kind leads me to say no??

although I cannot offer up any explanations, that does not look like hole in the head at all to me. more like perhaps a genetic trait they have gotten from mom and dad.

Kind of what I'm thinking, they all have it, three spots in the exact same place on all the fish.
