Update - I lowered the temp, added the salt, and am also using melafix. It looks like everyone will be okay. Problem Is clearing up, although they are flashing again. Seems odd that I'd have such problems when all my parameters are still good. PH 7 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 3ppm Thanks...

Oddly enough they stopped flashing, btw. Now just this...

Mumma - it's a couple fish. My quarantine tank had to be taken down so I don't have it at the moment

Wait are you sure it's ich? Did you see the pic?

Lower the temperature? I will for sure but I always thought I was supposed to do the opposite. Will start now

Here is a photo

Parameters still good :(

Not fuzzy. Pictures don't match. Came on very fast. The one who has it bad is struggling to swim slightly. Will try to post.

Not specs or spots. Covers dorsal area, side fins and looks a bit like a saddle shape sideways!

UPDATE! HELP! White streaks and discoloration on the back of my guppies. Any advice?!

Yep. Even did the flashlight thing. No other symptoms. I think I'm paranoid because my first massive problem and tank die off started with flashing and ended with fish carnage. Thanks for your advice :)

Unless you have another suggestion, of course.

Yeah. No symptoms in common so far. The old problems never manifested anything. I think I'm going to crank up the heat and leave it elevated for awhile. I'm thinking of maybe adding some salt, continuing to do very frequent water changes, and keep a close eye on them.

I have no white spots, so I don't think it's ich. Nor have I had any in the past. I've been researching a bit, but still can't figure it out. No other signs, parameters are good and I did another 50% wc. I'm wondering based on some of what I've seen, could it bee too much iron added for the plants?

And for the record I do a 30% water change every 4-5 days and a 50% change once a month. it's been about 3 weeks since I got the new fish. I drip acclimated them and did not dump LFS water into the tank. Figured parasites would have shown themselves before now, but here they are again...
