Hi all,
Just noticed one of my peppered cories scratching itself against my sand substrate. A bit of research has revealed that his is known as 'flashing' apparently.
Now my water parameters are fine (0,0,20,7.1) so the most likely scenario is external parasites from what I've read although another site claims it's the equivalent of flashing so I'm a bit confused as to what to do next.
A water change was today but no other fish have been addded for over a week.
Also no outward signs of anything on the fish I can see...
Any advice on what to do next?
Thanks in advance
