hi peeps, its me again. been quite busy lately, so was not able to visit this site.
im back and of course have problem with my flowerhorn.

my flowerhorn is not eating. He is getting thinner. no physical injuries, nothing change physically, except that his getting thinner and his bulge in head is getting smaller. anyone can suggest anything or can tell me what is happening to him..
he is not eating 4 days already!!! i am really worried.... :( :no: :cry:

nothing change on his environment, except that it started when my father change half of the water into new one.

any white poo??
colour is fading??
if nothing can be seen, should be some internal bacteria attacking..
except that it started when my father change half of the water into new one.
<-- any anti chlorine/chloramine added?


btw, are u frm sG?

I think there is something wrong inside his stomach. slight fading of color. I just separate him from the rest, then put some salt and antibiotics on his water. but no improvement. he still does not eat. its about 1 week already... :( Any medication for internal illness??? :no: There is white poo... :blink:

no, im from philippines. I am supposed to go there for vacation but was not able to because something happen. :(

Hi,
First of all, 50% water change may be a bit difficult for the flowerhorn to take, esp so if, beforehand the fish has not been feelign well already.
With signs of internal poo and no intake, i think it is a case of internal bacteria infection. U can try putting in soem dewormer and internal bact med(like Interpret) Meantime, please do keep your water condition at its best. Do not jump med , for it can cause severe implications. U can try my suggestion for 3 days and see what happens. If it starts to eat, increase his intake slowly.

The poo is like a round transparent jelly !!??? :blink: Whats that supposed to mean. He still does not eat anything... :( Thanks for the suggestion... ill try it and give you all updates.... :D

more likely is a internal bac. infection..
dunno wat are the medicine avaliable there..
is there any interpet brand?
if yes, get the interpet no.9 treating internal bacteria

all the best!

Hows yr fishy?

hi people... Thanks for all your advise,
my flowerhorn is starting to eat again....
Although his head becomes small, i wil try to bring it back again to its original size... :D

I cannot find Interpret brand here in the Philippines. But i have talked to some pet shop owner, they use antibiotics...

I thought our fH would die,,, but luckily it survive..... :lol: He is starting to bite my fish net again....... :P
