It can and will also act sick too. Not eating, losing weight, bloat, not interactive etc. what u mention sounds like constipation.

If it’s acting normal then watch and make sure ur providing a quality pellet with some veggie in it. Keep the water clean.

Sounds like it’s not a problem with the poop.

I’d have to look at the ingredients. I’m not too familiar with this types of foods. Can ask Gourami Swami Gourami Swami and duanes duanes on the topic.

I’ve tagged them so they both should respond.
 
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.
