just gorgeous... breathtaking pics too...
 
Started scratching again a couple weeks ago, so I used Praziquantel.
This time I'm going a whole month on the stuff. It should work.
 
why Prazi? its primarily a de-wormer..

if they are flashing, and you don't see ich parasites, it could be simply a water quality issue that is affecting their slime coat.

a few extra water changes and some salt might be all that you need to clear that up.

and it wont put your biofilter bacteria at risk..

(I have had a nitrite spike before when using prolonged doses of meds - lost some really nice brackish archers that I had). ever since that bad experience I am nervous I guess..

good luck!
 
I do weekly maintenance.
Yea I have no idea why they flash.
Soon they'll be in the new tank where i'll use salt.
At the moment they're in with my AUL so I don't use salt, it's not good for these guys.(AUL's).
