Hello, I have a tank where fish flash every now and then - mostly in the gill area. I've been keeping the temp at 84F with about 1/2 tablespoon for every 5g of water to keep off an ick infection that left some months ago. I don't see any white spots but the fish have been flashing consistently this past week. Is this Gill Flukes? I have a couple of fish acting lethargic, the rest are fine, except for the flashing. I have rummy nose tetras, rainbowfish, geos, and clown loaches. One loach is very lethargic, the rest are fine. I turned the temp up to 85-86 and added 1 tablespoon of salt per 5g water and added a powerhead to the tank. Unfortunately I don't have a test for salt levels at the moment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
