hello there, got my flowerhorn all covered with white spot..
its eyes started turning white and most depressing of all he's swimming upside down
any remedies anyone??
 
Pics would help but it sounds like ich. Ich usually comes on quick but wont kill your fish quick. Do a big water change, add some salt and raise the temp to mid 80's. May need to add an airstone if you dont have good surface agitation. High temps lower dissolved O2

done ALREADY
lets cross fingers
 
We can all cross our fingers but didnt you post for diagnosis of the problem? Im trying to help but you seem like you already know the issue... did you recently add fish? Because there are other things that could be causing white spots
 
Swimming upside down dont sound good at all. Are the white spots as if the fish was under a salt shaker? This could also be a quick onset of bacterial infection, and sometimes this ends bad.. quickly. Wishing the best... a pic or 2 would be good for some more opinions.

i didn't add anything...
i did a water change, did a salt bath, still the FH seems like it has some tiny mushrooms growing on his kok
and one eye is like a white veil is on it
what else can be done for the upside down swimming?
 
I had fish swim upside when I had a real bad nitrite spike. Did 50 percent water changes daily. Adding "seachem" "prime" and "stability" each change. But that was a new setup with a fish cycle. If the water is toxic then it'll mess up there equilibrium.

Check out this link and see if you are able to diagnose symptoms.
