Scartching, rubbing.

they are doing it often, It might be the first stages of ich. But the tank stays at 85.7* and gets treated with salt every other w/c.

How much salt?

I wouldn't use salt in the tank so often, because if it is ich, you could inadvertently be raising that strain of ich's tolerance to the salt, which means that if you want to use salt to kill it, you'll have to used more elevated levels than usual i.e. normal treatment is about 2 tsp./gallon, but you may have to go up to 4tsp/gallon.

Try two treatments with parasite clear by jungle labs, and if necessary (and as a last resort) a treatment with coppersafe.
