I believe one of my tanks may have a fluke infestation. Several fish keep scratching their gill plate on objects in the tank. I increased the temp to about 84 degrees and added 1 tablespoon of salt to every ten gallons, this seemed to help a lot but they still scratch on occasion. Does anyone know any other ways to control this?
 
Could be a problem with your water, just do some water changes and I'm sure it will go away. Other than that they are just trying to get food out of their gills but if they do as much as you say they are doing then water changes and a test on your water will be most helpful.
