Every once in a while for the past week or so my ABK will 'flash' on the large live plant that I have in my tank. I've kept a close eye on him, no other ich like symptoms no velvet like symptoms, his appetite is fine, and he only does it on the live plant, never on the gravel or other decor. I turned the temp up a bit to try and speed up the process to find out if it was ich, but no spots so the water is back down to 80 degrees. I've done several water changes over the past week, water parameters are fine no ammonia or anything, and I even added a bit of aquarium salt to see if that made any difference. He seems completely healthy and happy other than the occasional flash, and while I will continue to keep watching him closely could anybody else share their experiences with ABKs? Anybody else ever have one that was healthy that was flashing like that? Or is there a possibility of internal parasites even though the rest of my fish seem fine and eat the same diet? I know this is a long post but I hope I can get some responses, I'd really like to get to the bottom of this problem. Thanks

Can't think of anything either. Not sure if it could be an internal parasite, just use half the dosage, just in case.
