I think you probably have high nitrites which makes it tough for them to breathe, need some stability/prime for now and a test kit to confirm. It won’t smell like ammonia and your water can still be clear

I have changed the water completely and added some anti chlorine and anti ammonia medicine in the tank and 8 hours later still the same condition of the flowerhorns

Do they look healthy or stressed?
