It's a very weird scenario. I never saw a fish with that kind of symptom due to the lack of oxygen. I wouldn't discard some other causes. Something related to the swim bladder or neurological causes will be a good guess in my opinion.

What possible Neurological cause? I guess someone with the know how could have told the exact cause after a postmortem. This part of the death of my fish troubles me the most ... Cant pin point the exact cause. All possibilities are logically arrived at not scientifically.
 
Only new thing I did was humpy head. Maybe some additive in humpy head could have triggered something.. But I do remember they once had ate a pellet or two which I had stuffed in their food before

The problem I have with swim bladder theory is it affecting multiple fish at the same time. I'd expect an isolated incident.

Exactly and it happened during a large wc and very high temps and low o2. Its obvious but there is a chance it could have been other issues and that just pushed them over the edge?

I wouldn't feed humpy head to a homeless mouse....

On another note I have heard that humpy head can cause bloat.... so it seems likely temp, crap food and low o2 may have played a role.

Never feed gimicky food like that.

Why would you feed a flowerhorn gimmicky food to a P anyway? They don't have Koks.

Assuming op was wanting variety in the diet but you have to be careful not to use cheap food. Read the label

Why do you guys criticise humpy head so much? It's not that cheap also.. Same price range as Hikari gold.. Having some good results and growth with it.. On my FlowerHorn
