methylene blue plays havoc on your beneficial bacteria colony, as well as plants and inverts so using it in the main tank can still be detrimental in the long run especially when we don't know the actual problem.
Flowerhorn lying down? Seems sick!

We have been adding blue chemical only after changing 50% of water. We tend to change the water every two week.
I wanted to know how much mythelene blue should be added in 20 litre bucket and for how long should I keep the flowerhorn in it as bucket won't be having filter, heater etc.
I also have a doubt if some instruments are not working in fish tank. Filter, heater etc.

It does seem suspicious after a water change, your fish started showing symptoms. Possible you received "bad water", periodically water treatments faculties will flush lines with various additives; high chloramine counts and ph swings can occur. Occasionally people just forget to DE chlorinate their water and serious issues can arise.
First sorry to hear your pet is sick. Did you change out any bio balls, sponges or any filter media? If you did that is the problem. You shouldn't do it with a water change or change all the filter media at the same time.
If you DIDN'T do this I would think its internal and I would treat it with antibacterial/ick medicine.

Filter media was changed wbich is being kept inside aquarium but flowerhorn was acting wierd before that too.
Yes, there are what are called denitrifying bacteria that accumulate in our filters/tanks that break down ammonia/nitrite into less harmful nitrate....Research "cycling a fish tank" and should be able to find details, it is very important. I would be doing 20% daily water changes for at least a few weeks until your tank recycles.
