My Flowerhorn was not eating, white poop, and now has a prolapse. I treaded him with "Bubble Cure, and Clear". It got rid of his white poop and he regained his appetite and now back to eating normal but his prolapse does not seem to cure. Does anyone know what to do or had success in a situation like this or is he done

prolapses are generally non-curable on the owner's side of things. They may retract on their own or be a permanent thing. They usually don't cause complications as long as the fish is otherwise healthy, at least from what I've seen. Allow more experienced experts chime in first however.

Thank you. Ive read online that it could be a permanent thing. Which i dont want. That sucks i really liked him but ill be getting another then. Its jus a eye sore to see a fish swim around with intestines hanging out
 
Mine had this and it was stuck out for about a week untill it eventually fell off and he was normals again

poor guy, I do not think i pay 50 bucks for fish with her arse hanging out, sure works fine for the hookers down town but not something worth the 50 bucks in a fish.
