flowerhorn stopped eating

[liljman]

My flowerhorn has stopped eating. Also has white slime from bowels. The only thing I have done differently was I moved to a smaller tank. I have tried feeding different foods. I hqve treated for internal parasites. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had good luck with Epsom salt. Either in the food or in the water its a natural laxative. Google your symptoms and see if there is a remedy.

Good luck

I had mine for around 5 years and he had this problem. It is a parastitic disorder or a swim bladder problem. I tried using an antibiotic and putting it down the throat. Also try to feed crushed grean peas do get rid of any intestinal problems. MIe did not survive unfortunately. Nice speciman though.
