Question
My Flowerhorn has something protruding from its anal opening (like a piece of meat). also it is passing off waste like white jelly. Of Late he has minimized his eating almost to zero.. Im worried about it.. what should i do ?

Answer
Hi Raj,
  Those signs strongly indicate a serious intestinal infection.  There are various medicines that claim to help this.  One thing that many people do is to feed their fish with thawed frozen peas. The peas help move things through and out the digestive tract and that can be beneficial in these cases.
