white shit usually means internal bacteria
go get some interpet 9 or melafix. reduce water level by half, on heater to 30-32, add salt n add med. will take a week like that to heal.

i personally have very good experience with melafix on treating this but interpet 9 itself is also a very good med for internal parasite.

I highly doubt that melafix is effective for the treatment of internal bacteria or parasites. or even the salt/heater method. These are more to external remedies..But if the bro above has used it before and it works den i got noting to say

Anw,trying intepret 9 or some internal bact med would be a better bet. n lastly, meds dont work overnight bro..it takes time to slowly take effect and occasionally requires repeated doses..

As for hiding in the shadows, could it be due to stress? increasing the temp to 32C might add additional stress to the fish..try out the internal bact meds first

I know a bro who had success in treating white poop with the use of meds containing praziquintel

that is what i thought s well at first. but after finishing one bottle of interpet 9 n my flowerhorn still has white poo, i tried out melafix + heater n salt treatment. it worked
