Flowerhorn sick

[aznpriest]

My male flowerhorn is ignoring me not eating & color fading w/ appearance of vertical stripes
this all started when i added a female flowerhorn into the tank 3 days ago both of them do not attack each other and swim together
should i be worried?

Need a long video to observe

He's obviously showing signs of stress that are probably from his new tank companion. Keep a close eye on them and make sure they aren't fighting. Its ok if he doesn't eat for a few days. Now if a week goes by and he still isn't showing any interest in food then he might have gotten sick, but its too soon to say that for sure. Is his poop white or stringy?? Is the females?? A video to observe these two would help.
