I cannot in good faith support this nomination: Flowerhorns are argumentive troublemakers! (and arguably the most un-gregarious fish in the world).

I change 25% water

You can change 100% of the water if we dont know the parameters of what the fish has been in and what it will likely be in again how can we help you?

And also I can not in good conscience vote any flowerhorn to bronze level. My vote is no.

Hello guys,
Need big help my 6inch red dragon flowerhone not eating from week he’s water ph was good too and even no tank setup got change kindly help me to what I can do for him. I really can see he’s kok gets smaller too.

Thanu it's really hard for us to say what's wrong with your fish, esp. without knowing:
-- your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite & nitrate)
-- is that tank properly cycled or did you just start a tank and put him in? How long has he been in that tank?
-- what size is your tank? If too small and you're only doing 25% water changes that could equal problems.
-- what is your water temperature? FH prefer warmer temps, ~28-30C.

If you can't get a test kit can you bring your water to a local fish shop for testing? In any case a Flowerhorn that hasn't eaten for a week surely has some kind of problem, they normally voracious eaters. I'm hoping it doesn't Hexamita -- was his poop ok before he stopped eating or what it white and stringy?

For now I would be doing bigger water changes, maybe add a bit of aquarium salt. But basically we need more info to try and help you best.

You still need to test the water occasionally and knowing the results will help your fish in the long run. Buy a water test kit and let us know the results
