Okay thanks for the replies everyone. I have two last question. Do I feed my fh for 5 min like lidofish said or how much? And when food starts coming of it's gills, does it mean that they are full?

No they are grinding food and food will come out regardless. Personally I don't feed my fish until they stop eating or they're stomaches are bulging. Don't believe in overdfeeding. Some people do, some don't. Juvies eat 2-3x a day, smaller portions and anything over 8" I feed once a day. When you have a full grown fish, they don't break down food like juvies and you could actually kill them.
And as far as the Epsom salt solution, I am totally against it. I have used it to a T and and lost one fish an almost another and it took injecting stronger meds into the stomach to save it.
