FH hybrid stopped eating-help!

[RD.]

Thanks for the info, I acually found his thread and gonna try it out; but like you said, since he is not eating Im not sure what to do.

You can use the straight 3% solution as described above, or presoak some food & use a syringe & tubing to get either mix down to his gut. Below is a good article that explains & shows pics on how to force feed a fish.

Repeat for 5 days or until the fish is back to eating the pellets on his own.
This procedure has already saved a few fish on MFK that were in the exact same boat as yours. (not eating, sunken belly, etc)

Good luck!

it's a kamfa which is technically a type of flowerhorn although most if not all are crossbred with Vieja species

A friend of mine here in town took that pic at this years Aquarama in Singapore, not sure of its genetics, other than as you said it's a kamfa strain.
