Need Help On My New Flowerhorn!

[TaSd]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi, i just bought a new flowerhorn yesterday.. when i looked at it in a shop its very aggresive so i bought it..
but right after i got it home with my new tank,new filter.. it became very nervous and scared.. he's eating nothing at the moment.. anyone can help me with it? it's been a day like this already. and the color is slowly fading

How new is the setup?
Was it cycled?
Tank size?
Tankmates?

Large cichlids generally do take a while to settle in

Don't worry,he/she will come around.I have three at different sizes and even the smallest one at 3"can be really nasty.I've found water temp at 80degrees and some dither fish really start to bring out there personality and aggressiveness.Worked well for me.
