My wife and I got a male flowerhorn last Saturday to go with our female. He at first was a bruiser and bullied all, but then bonded with our female and they claimed a potential and cleaned out all around it. Every thing looked good. Today when I got home he was sitting on the bottom of the tank doing the gulping thing. I think his color has faded, but my wife says she doesn't agree. Should I be concerned with this behavior, if so what should I do? Tank a-0, n-0, n-20. The store we got him from had him for a long time. No other fish in our tank are showing any symptoms.

Yes, he was apparently sick. Didn't make it thru the night. Any ideas on what could have happened?

It can be coz of Internal Parasite or HEX ...happens with new FH
You need to De-worm it if it shows symptoms like .. loss of appetite and white stringy poop
 
Other fish in tank show no symptoms. The dead one had a bulge though. I think he swallowed gravel when he was cleaning the area out.
