My fish are itchy???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You mentioned doing multiple water changes...what dechlorinator do you use? Sometimes fish can get a bit "itchy" if there are still traces of chlorine in the water. Maybe double up on the dechlor before adding meds and see what happens?
 
it way be some parisite... please post pics up... it could be velvet....
 
This is something I have awful trouble with. Fish randomly scratching with no visable signs eg ich spots. It is nice to see a dosing schedule there by Lupin, I however live in the UK so not sure where to get prazi or similar med.

The only things I have noticed on your info is you have some nitrite (so may have have an ammonia spike which I think can 'burn') and your ph seems quite high for american cichlids. However it may have always been like this so I wouldn't change it.
