Hello everyone,
First and foremost before I start I would like to thank all of the people and all the their help thus far.
This is were I am at. My gut tells me, that I have over fed Reimahg (flowerhorn fish) in the weeks leading up to this event. My fish acts normal just doesn't want to eat anything.
Reimahg also has a hole on his drivers side (US) this hole has existed for most of his life (fish is 12-14months old) This hole has improved through the use of salts and improving water quality. However the hole can still be seen.
Two things are different in my fishes appearance from the beginning of this issue. One I can explain, the other leads to a question. His horn/kok is beginning to get bumpy, I believe this is from a lack of food. In the past I have been bitten from Reimahg and I bled a lot, he has always had teeth. However right now i am seeing about 5 large teeth seemingly coming in on the bottom, and two very large teeth on the top. They have never been more noticable. Leading to my question do fish teeth? - Process of teeth breaking gum line
Possibly see his kok is bumpy - http://imgur.com/wrURY2Mhttp://imgur.com/wrURY2M
Hole is at about 2 O'clock behind his eye - http://i.imgur.com/Y3iL7QX.jpg
You can see his teeth here (zoom in) - http://i.imgur.com/Lp2sUwa.jpg
I am feeding him these - http://i.imgur.com/fNnyZSI.jpg
Yesterday he ate about 7...which is the best day so far. I take 3 at a time and drop them infront of him and leave the room. I come back 10 mins later and clean up what he didnt go for. I also noticed this morning that he isnt really chewing them he is sucking on them. This is not a good life for my fish, and I am frustrated with myself for not being able to give him a suitable life
I need to feel as tho I have a plan, and currently feel like my plan of feeding him here and there is not a plan he deserves. If you were in my shoes what would you do?
