Flowerhorn in hospital tank- ID Please

[Arleta]

I got this one from my LFS last friday with fungus on the side of its body. After 2 baths in "general fungus cure" fish seems to be ok but his colors are fading.
He seems to be improving thought. Today after total water change I did add some salt and Melafix.



Since he has been hiding in corner of the tank I got him company. He swims now acting like a king of hospital tank .


Can somebody identify thoes 2? Thanks

The second one looks like a jewel cichlid.

Thanks guys

Flowerhorn got stronger so I put jewel ciclid in my comunity tank. What would be best water parameters for flowerhorn? His lack of colors bother me a lot.

Each FH is unique - it could just be that color.

Thats good point of view. But i think my flowerhorn have something more to show. This is how he looks today. After 6 days of treatment.


He hide a lot though, when he sees any movement. Even my dog passing bye scares the fish.

Good job getting your fh back to good health. I think your gravel are washing out your fh's color. River rock or a darker color will probably bring out its color better.

Looks like they had amonia poising going on in their old tank. Would explain the fungus. We're their eyes clouded over?

Sorry for replaying late.

About the store,they had some problem in few tanks. But after transport it often happens.
My fish is getting better though. I took this pictures today morning, while feeding time. Fish was hountingfor and it colors got vibrant.
