Please Help, My Flowerthorn has just developed a large bump protruding from both sides just behind his butt hole- and before his rear fin- his scales are really messed up from it- and he's been ****ting long turds constantly- parasite maybe- but what??? and any treatments out there??? thanks
 
Pics? 40ppm is a bit high for nitrates. Do a large water change.. like 50%. What exactly does his poop look like? Does he still eat?
 
poop clear / milky - stringy with a bubble stringy again another bubble etc etc - and very very long - and not eating at all pics tonight currently at work unable to upload

Since your fish isn't eating. Pay close attention to this part of the thread that I copied and pasted below. Good luck

In extreme cases, the oral solution could be administered to a fish via a pipette.Just make sure to use a flexible tip so as not to damage the fishes esophagus when squirting the solution down the fishes throat. Only a small amount is required, but repeat daily until the fish is accepting pre-soaked pellets, and continue treatment for 5 days.
