I just recently brought home a male and female flowerhorn in one 75 gal acrylic tank with a divider, the whole afternoon, both flowerhorns were fine, now i left for about 5 hours and when I came back the female flowerhorn looks as if its paralyzed, having no motions except the gills just floating and spinning slowly. Please, any advice on what I can do?!?!?:cry::cry::cry::cry:
 
turn of the lights, add salt, bump the temperature up a bit, and check ur water params
 
now its just floating upside down, i took it out of the tank, then it thrashed, and i put it in my 110 gallon, then it resumes to be floating upside down again looking like it's paralyzed.:cry::cry::cry:
 
taking it out probably made it even more stressed
