you will end up killing a stressed and curable fish.

Do the Epsom salt thing, please. And nothing else.
 
I would follow Miguel's advice. The following is posted as a sticky in the flowerhorn section.

A very safe, very cheap, yet very effective way in treating internal parasites as well as just general constipation in fish. Adding magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) to the tank water will help with constipation, but if there are internal parasites involved you will need to do more than just add epsom salt to the water.

pardon me, Neill, my friend. The advice is yours. I learned this with You. Just passing info on to the younger, deserving, guys.
 
Thanks guys, I will try later, his belly is only slightly better so I am a little worried, as I said before, there are 2.5 tablespoons in my 10 gallon... will epsom salt that is just in the aquariums water and not in the food help too? I am worried he will not eat anytime soon as he always spits pellets out... I would apretiate some more info and advice beacause you guys really know what you are doing...

Nice helpful article...
 
You need to try the soaked pellets method. But forget him for a couple of days. He won't die. Let him start wanting to eat.
