Piranha "flashing"

[bumpylemon]

someone said that this could be cuz of parasites. well they only did it a few times but now they are doing it more. now im kinda worried. ima try and get a video to show you guys.

here is how i described it in another thread

"another weird thing that they do weird is sort of like a cat marks it territory. they rub their sides on an ornament and then with a burst of speed they push off of it. whats that all about?"

How big are they ?
Is your tank a ship wreck ? Or do you care for it/change water exc.......

 

[bumpylemon]

i care for it. they are like 2 inches. maybe a lil bigger. the water is cloudy right now. but ammonia and nitrites are 0. im adding another filter to it tomorrow as well.

Make sure you are doing regular water changes especially when the fish are young. I was doing 20-25% water changes about every week for a while now I do it every 2 weeks.

^ i do more than that. they are fatties!! the water changes isnt an issue

 

[dzb912]

that could be an early sign of ick
it happens in all fish

i'm sure it's just nothing, the only time you really need to worry is when they are doing it all the time. if they are only doing it once in awhile or just after eating, it's pretty normal
