Hello, this is my first post. my Flowerhorn has stopped eating for the last 4 or 5 days, I stopped feeding him when I realized, I tried again today and he just spit everything back up again. I think I need to treat for parasites or hexamida, but I'm not sure how if he won't eat. I'm pretty sure I need to get metronidazole in him and was gonna use seachen metro plus to treat. How many MG does t my 6 inch flowerhorn need? One dose of metro plus 125MG, I plan in medicating the whole system but I think I need to get some medicine in his system by removing him and syringing it. I see people use the normal over the counter tablets which are 400 MG but how much of that do I use? I really need help and am lacking in good information. It might be constipated but again I can't get it to eat peas and it hasn't pooped so I'm not sure if its white and stringy or not.ea
 
If ur using a tablet then divide the pill into four equal portions. Or cut in half and then cut the 1/2 into half again. Each piece for every 10g. I’d also dose some Epsom salt, 1-3 tbsp per 5g.
