ich....?

[Danno]

I think my dats may have ich. they will have a twitch/shake then scrape against the rocks a few times, other times its just a twich/shake. is this ich?

My dats do it all the time. It's called "flashing". I've never had ich in my tank but they do it frequently.

how often would you say your dats 'flash' ? mine seem to do it quite a bit, well obviously enough for me to think something could be wrong. However i have clown loach and a couple of silver dollars and a leopard bush fish also in the tank and they appear fine.

I see some of them do it everyday. The loaches would be your first indication of ich. If they don't have it, the dats don't have it.

tbh i thought the same with the clowns, guess im just being a little paranoid. cheers for the advice
