Sunny Doan Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I’m not too sure why this is happening. But my flowerhorn has lost his appetite and his head hump has gotten smaller. This has happened multiple times where he’ll make a recovery be energetic again and then slowly become lethargic and not eating. He’ll often look at food but eventually spits it out and doesn’t eat. I’m not sure what to do. My water parameters are normal and I have the temp at 82 currently. Any advice on what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
