I know this isn't the Hybrid section, but there seems to be more traffic here and i need help. My flowerhorn is acting strange, maybe sick.
I did my usual Thursday waterchange of 15gallons in my 55 gallon tank. I do this Tues, Thurs, and Sunday. I added the normal amount of treatment chemicals. I went outsde and came back 30 minutes later and he is sitting at the top of the tank with his hump out of partially out of the water with his nose in the corner. If i tried to touch him he would swim away, but then go back to the same spot.
I thought he was reacting to bad water (maybe i stirred up something bad), so i did a 50% water change, cleaned the filters, added the treatment chemicals, added stress coat, added aquarium salt.
I've done all i know how to do. He hasn't gotten pale, ubt he has me worried by sulking in the corner. The pleco in with him is acting normally.
Any ideas/suggestions? Please help!
