I cannot in good faith support this nomination: Flowerhorns are argumentive troublemakers! (and arguably the most un-gregarious fish in the world).

You can change 100% of the water if we dont know the parameters of what the fish has been in and what it will likely be in again how can we help you?
And also I can not in good conscience vote any flowerhorn to bronze level. My vote is no.
Maybe if it was a super duper red gold base cross back level 6 king kamfa fader...
Thanu it's really hard for us to say what's wrong with your fish, esp. without knowing:
-- your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite & nitrate)
-- is that tank properly cycled or did you just start a tank and put him in? How long has he been in that tank?
-- what size is your tank? If too small and you're only doing 25% water changes that could equal problems.
-- what is your water temperature? FH prefer warmer temps, ~28-30C.
If you can't get a test kit can you bring your water to a local fish shop for testing? In any case a Flowerhorn that hasn't eaten for a week surely has some kind of problem, they normally voracious eaters. I'm hoping it doesn't Hexamita -- was his poop ok before he stopped eating or what it white and stringy?
For now I would be doing bigger water changes, maybe add a bit of aquarium salt. But basically we need more info to try and help you best.
He’s in this tank for 2 months now I buy him he was 4.2 inch now he’s 6inch . He was eating good n poop normal frown color he’s food witch I give Taiyo brand hi red n xo brand humpy head. Water temperature it’s 30c I have water heater on the tank it’s working too. Salt I add too
