try checking ur water ph lvl n ur chlorine lvl. i dunnu much but, after getting my tank ph water lvl jus right wen it was sick, it healed.
 
i did a 50% water change he is still showing the Stripes and he discharges tread like white feces can you tell me what is the medicine compound the KW zone Aim product 19 have after mxing that in water he is not taking food properly and i dont have intruments to measure Ph level and iam using well water so no chance for chlorine can you identify the breed of this FH and how big he will grow his Hump i am feeding him with XO humpy head and Xo super red Syn
 
Do you have a master test kit, or any way of testing your water's Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites, pH?
Have you fed your FH any live fish lately?
 
i am feeding him with ocean free XO super red Syn pellet food his stomach is normal he some times goes to the corner of the tank and rest himself by keeping the lower jaw in the tank bottom i feed him with live krill till wedness day he discharges a thin thread like feces in red color which is not usual he some times scraches his head and face in the bottom of the tank
 
If he is rubbing against tank decorations, or substrate scraping himself, plus the white stringy poo then it does sound like an internal parasite. But if he is eating, and swimming normally, then that is a good sign.

I would do a large water change, raise your temperature to at least 85 degrees, add 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons, and continue with the internal parasite medication.

You should invest in an API Master Test Kit, also.
