Flowerhorn poops changes???

[kno4te]

Typically you would want a 35-40% protein for adults and 40-50%for young or juvenile. Those would be max. High veg mix. You would be better feeding a High veg mostly and a backup meat pellet. Stay away from foods high in animal proteins. The fish that make up the flowerhorn are mostly herbivorous and eating insects and small crustations when available.
So what should you look for as ingredients things like veg foods high in algaes and other veg like kale and other leafy greens. Mixed foods with things like veg and salmon or krill. Insect based foods with veg. Spirulina is always a good thing to see in the list of ingredients.

Thanks for the help friend!

Everything I have has some kind of veg in it

I cant see the 1st one but the other 2 look good to me. Does that brand offer a high veg blend? Also looks like the two I can read are very simular in ingredients may be able to drop one of them for a higher veg blend.

Makes sense I’m looking up some high veg blends now so you don’t think it’s parasites I’ll try and snap a pic of his poop when I get back home

I'm not super good with that. I have about the same outlook as kno4te . Look for other obvious signs indicating parasite. But yeah deffinately post some pics may be quite obvious to some. Post pics of the fish and poop and enclosure also. What about water parameters?

Perhaps someone could move this to the hybrid section?

85F is too warm, over the next few days I would dial the temp down to 80F max. Forget most of what you have read or heard about keeping FH, most of it is based on hobbyist hyperbole. Also, FH specialty foods are costly, and most come in at too high of % of crude protein. Any high quality cichlid pellet will get the job done, the rest is largely based on genetics and water quality. It looks like you have already dropped a dime on a lot of food, so just feed sparingly, do not overfeed. If it was me I would add NLS AlgaeMax a few times a week to help keep the gastrointestinal system in check.

If your fishes waste starts looking like the waste in the pic below, you need to act quickly. Again, see link above.
