My flowerhorn is not eating food since 10days. aquarium size 2ft x 1.5ft.
Did water change, added tetracyclin 500 for 7days so far. (change 50% of water in the tank, add tetracyclin 500, again changed water after 2 days,… ) Still it is not eating food… it is moving,
Can you please advice me on how to cure the fish. fish size (4-5 inch)

Hi Pradeep,
Your fish is stressed which is reason Flowerhorn is not eating.
Tettracyline wont work.
The Stress mainly because of bad water condition in tank.
Kindly Get medicine for treatment –

  1. ocean free antichlorine – Click here to buy
  2. ocean free gill fungus parasite special – Click here to buy

Now Do complete water change and add fresh water into tank.
Add Ocean Free Antichlorine 1 cap to tank.
Add Ocean Free Gill Fungus Parasite Special 1 cap to tank.
Add heater and turn to 28′ C.
Add fish to tank.
After two days of this try to feed flowerhorn.
Start treatment immediately.
Thank you,
