My flowerhorn is prob about 6 inches, aggressive appetite, bold colors but looks like he's peeling? It's hard to see in the pics, but it's like white specs esp around the head (not ich). His colors fade in the morning but come back vibrant when the light turns on. Water parameters are all at 0... Temp is 82-86. Help?? Thanks!!image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
 
Raise the temp to 28-29°C and add salt 2-4g per L.
 
more pictures of today please. That will help us help your fish
 
It looks like a mild case of ich thats causing your fish to scratch itself(hence the peeling look). Just do a 30% water change and increase the temp to 86 degrees for a couple days and see if it helps. Adding a little salt wouldn't hurt either.
