Hi! I have a flowerhorn that is about 1 or 1 1/2 years of age. It started having white spots for less than a month now. The white spots started off small and slowly grew to what looks like big blisters. At this point, my flowerhorn has stop eating and just stands in the corner of the tank most of the time. I tried API Fungus Cure and have put two doses in already, but the disease seems to have gotten worse. Please help me stop this disease from killing my fish!


I have included the picture of the flowerhorn. The water is stained green because of the API Fungus Cure.

What are you water parameters.. that fish doesn't look good.. how often do you do water changes? do you feed him live foods?

Looks like dubious water quality/parameters, so start there with more frequent water changes. And get a UV sterilizer, it will help with future outbreaks.

I do 50% water changes weekly and i did a full tank water change about two weeks ago. I'm not sure what my water pH is, but I know that my temperature is 82 degrees fahrenheit. I used to feed my flowerhorn frozen bloodworms and pellets, but not live food. I will definitely try to use a UV sterilizer and try adding epsom salt and almond leaves. Thank you everyone for helping me in this situation and responding quickly!!
