    Hey man, I am a flowerhorn breeder and just to give you a heads up, I'd bet my next house payment that is a female flowerhorn. I personally love my females even more than my males as they are the bringers of new life into this world, so don't think me saying this is anything other than an observation. When you have brought several tens of thousands of a species into this world you begin to get an eye for this type of thing. Honestly though, I mostly can make this determination from the scale of the eye to the total height of the head and the length of the dorsal fin; the eye on a female is generally 1/4th the total height of the head, while a males is more 1/6th, but the bigger indicator is the length of the dorsal fin... a female flowerhorns dorsal fin tends to be rounded and rarely is longer in length than the caudal fins length, while a males comes to a point and more often than not grows longer than the length of the caudal.

    P.S. API General Cure will also treat Hexamita but not round worms. It works fairly well but can suppress the appetite until its removed from the water column. If you suspect Hexamita, go with Metroplex.

    General cure api will pretty much de worm any fish! Anytime i have problems with white poop knocks it right out within the week. Awesome fish! Hope he’s feeling better !

    Mike, you can also dose Fenbendazole directly into water column. Its effective for round worms in fish. If you can get a sample of your fish's poop, your vet can examine under a microscope for a more definitive diagnosis. Also, you can usually see the worms protruding from the fish's vent. Piperzine is another wormer you can dose directly into water column. It's not as common to see tapeworms. PraziPro will treat tapeworms (I believe). You also want to make certain it's not Hexamita. Similar symptoms. Metroplex dosed in the water column or mixed with food will treat Hex. Finish one treatment and run carbon and do water changes before start a different treatment. Also keep lights out to reduce stress when he's not feeling well. I'm glad he's eating. Usually it takes awhile. Some of the meds suppress the appetite (especially anything with Prazi). Try Mysis shrimp. Maybe easier on inflamed gut than blood worms. Good luck with your little guy.

      EverythingAquatic.net has a binder free Fenbendazole powder that you can dose directly into water column. If it's round worms they usually pass them pretty quickly.

      Mike. Reach out to Dena at EverythingAquatic.net
      She is very knowledgeable about treating parasites and her line is very pure, no fillers. Safer for fish and less interactions when combining meds.
