I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you... The OP can take whatever info he wants from this thread. I suggest doing a search on PRAZI and see what you come up with... Praziquental and fenbendosole are the 2 most common recommendations for deworming a FH. I use Metro for HITH.Fish Room Plus;3510019; said:
Praziquantel

i think your fish has bloat. heat the tank to mid 80s, add epsome salt, use metro as mentioned by the two earlier, do not over feed. You can skip feeding days. Also reduce stress, it might need to be by its self in that tank. Do frequent water changes. This doesnt mean it will live! Weaker flowerhorns and black nasties ect.., constantly die despite all these interventions. I hope its not boalt.
Treat with Metronidazole, it's hexamita. I had the same issue with my silk. Didn't eat for three weeks, stringy white feces. Now he's fat and happy again. Metro can be absorbed from the water column, though it is more effective when ingested.
