Flowerhorn with bloat?

[Joshuakahan]

My Flowerhorn starting eating less about a week ago and I noticed white poop that resembles Malawi bloat. Now he’s barely eating but his behavior is normal, still active and aggressive. I know when I’ve seen a fish with Malawi bloat, they usually hide and have faded color. The Flowerhorn has good color still. Could this be bloat? If not what could it be? Any ideas on treatments? I have metronidazole flakes from kens fish, I keep it on hand for the Africans, but the Flowerhorn won’t touch it.
Thanks for any help

Try some Epsom salt, 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. We try some head shield soaked with garlic or blood worm juice. Got a wait it out and hope it’s appetite returns.
