Guys, i wanted to post this straight away as it concerns my first datnoid. Today i noticed that he is occasionally scratching the lower part of his mouth to the wood/sand/rock. obviously i dont like this. i watched him carefully and there are no signs of parasites or anything from the outside. further behaviour is normal as far as i know (first dat :)) and he eats good too. he doesnt seem to scratch his gills and the mouth scratching isnt constant. just now and then.

could this be ich of some sort? like mentioned, didnt see him do it yesterday so i wanna be quick.
anybody any suggestion?

temp is 28,5C
nitrate and nitrite 5 and 0
pH 7,5
Gh 7
 
mine do that from time to time....i've had them all for a while. maybe they're just itchy, hehehe.
