Noahspurlin Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Good evening folks, My flowerhorn has had a bump around her abdomen area and it is bigger on the one side of her belly. I have not fed her for a few days, and haven’t noticed any changes to the size of the abdomen area. She’s a 4-5 year old flowerhorn. Feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would suggest is Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant and I would do a course of metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 21 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
