  • Flashing/flicking

    Hello fishboxers
    I have a 72 gallon bowfront. Its been set up about 2 months and I seeded it with media from an existing tank. API test kit indicates good parameters. Tank contained 3 angels and 3 roselines. Moved 2 blue rams and 5 lemmon tetras over to it yesterday and noticed one of the rams flashing right afterward (but then he stopped). Today I noticed one of my roselines flashing. I don't see any ich, or clamped fins, but don't want to wait if this might be the beginning of a big problem

    Should I add parashield to the tank?

    Have increased temp to 83 and added salt per recommended dosage.

      Wait a bit and see if this helps.

        Have they stopped flashing? If it's only a few times over a couple days I wouldn't worry about it. If it's continuous or prolonged, vacuum your gravel and keep up with water changes. It's usually due to discomfort from parameters, but can also be an early sign of ich
