Help With My Female Flowerhorn

[the animal guy]

What do I do if she's not eating? Just put Epsom in the water?

Make sure you got enough filter and water movement going on and water is around mid-hi 80s.
Water change and add Epsom salt to the water; Yes.
That may take a week.

But if you are dedicated and got crafty hands, you :

<<< this you need to carefully insert the syringe and >>SLOWLY<< inject/pump the med into the stomach of the fish. Pumpn it fast can badly hurt the fish's internal(they can't scream or say stop). Pretend it's your stomach as a living being that small and be gentle.

But this is the best and fastest way I know. You can use Garlic Juice first with the Syringe with out getting the Medicine first because the Syringe , just go to Walgreens and ask them. If Garlic juice dont work then get the Med.

Will just the Epsom work? Or will I have to do the clear too? Is a quarantine tank with just a sponge filter good enough?

no bro put a filter in there for sure. Just filter and pad only to clean the water. But you need that for good water and movement. Let it water fall. Then proper temperature.

It takes a lil time but it can be done. Epsom salt IDK you gotta ask others because it's worked for them, but not for me. I use the pump feed way.

I just finished battleing white poop with2 of my flowerhorns. It is terrible they go without eating untill they shrink and starve to death. I wanted to wait because I didn't want to use clear and hurt the fish, but they just got worse. After about 3 weeks I ordered the clear medicine. After about 10 days one recovered. My other went a whole 2 months without eating then died, it was terrible seeing him so weak. Pls get the clear as soon a possible. Other medicine had NO effect on my fish.

I tried the Epsom salt but she passed the day before the medicine arrived...

Sorry to hear that I had this happen to one fish twice. I starved him and added salt and he was fine never happened again. I did buy him recently at the time and he must've gotten it from that tank.

Sorry to hear that also. Most of the time the food soaked in Epsom salt works for me if they are eating. Lost a couple myself that ended up wasting away. Only tried syringe method once and fish ended up dying anyway.
