I hope it's not any type of parasite but I left my house for the day yesterday and I came home to my filter dried or attempting to start up, I'm thinking maybe quick power outage or whatever the case may be , the filter basically wasn't running for possibly 6-8 hours. I'm thinking that the water chemistry trickled a bit in a 10G and my fish became stressed which explains the glancing and flashing. Worst case scenario, they have a parasite and bad water chemistry. I tested my pH only and it's higher than usual at 7.6. I had test strips but they're useless so I went out and bought just the pH tester as I have the master kit shipped to my house. pH is high and fish seem to be getting worse. I raised the temp just in case it is a parasite problem and also added a air stone to provide more oxygen for my gourami and my cardinal tetras seem to be flashing the most.
