today,when i came back home i found my divider fallen and both flowerhorns together,the bigger and older nearly 4 inched male beated up my 2.5 inched female flowerhorn,tore her fins apart,her flesh below her side fins is some what munched on all her fins are nearly ripped off and it is floating upside down but not on the water top surface but in her own territory,so in how much time will i be able to see improvement in her and early signs of improvement.
what to perform urgently.i changed nearly 20% water of aquarium but it is still floating upside down when i put net inside it,it stays normal for some time and afterwards turn upside down again,i dont think it is swim bladder disease,please help me how to increase the healing capacity and is there any chances of it to survive:(.
 
Its gonna be very hard to keep alive if its not swimming upright. Keep the water very clean, feed well, and provide slime coat. Try putting the flowerhorn in a pond skimmer so it doesn't have to swim much. Theyre.only about three dollars

Maybe some pics would help to see the severity of it, but keep water clean,daily wc's, add melafix and or slimecoat, and raise the temp a little. And MAKE SURE THE DIVIDER DOESNT FALL DOWN AGAIN

u can forget about feeding but the best thing u can to is make sure the divider is secure to prevent this from happing again. turn heat up a few degres and either epsom or aquarium salt and do 20-35% changes daily i am thinking the fish is very traumatized she shoud come back around after a few days i would not attempt to feed until she starts to get her strengh back.
