Aquarium Advice Freak
I have recently witnessed my rainbow shark 'scratching' himself on rocks and other objects. He isnt doing it all the time, but every now and then he will swim slowly close to a rock, and then kind of dart past it, just grazing his body on as he passes.
I have read about ich, could this be the case? Other than this scratching, he seems perfectly happy, lovely dark colour, bright fins, eating well, defending its territory, as normal. It has no white spots, however i have read about it attacking inside the gills? This does seem to be the area of the body that it grazes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i dont wanna lose the little guy!
