Had a little guy for Round 2 months prob grown half an inch he is 1.5/2" now. He is starting to look emaciated he is full of character eats but never seems to swallow the food, I feed the same as all my other cichlids, floating pellets, sinking pellets and flake. He is in a 30g tank with a few loach water is always perfect. He is s*****g out white clear poo any ideas on a treatment, he has all the attributes to be a gorgeous fish.

There's a sticky on the top of page of the flowerhorn threads that helps with heximita(internal parasites). For me I use prazipro but there are other suggestions. Good luck.

Added some anti internal parasite Medicine. He is not doing much better still chewing food and spitting it out what else can i feed him.

You can try bloodworms. After my fh got it, it took him a while(around a week) to get back onto pellets. It was a slow process. Now he's eating that rock hard NLS again.
