does ich make fish extra active / seemingly nervous?
+1it can but usually the tell tale signs are the white spots that develop on the fish.
Ich looks like grains of salt on the fish. However that being said, ich can be in the gills only and not visible on the fish at all. The flashing as Jimbo said is another indication. Cichlids "flash" as part of their nature so depending on the fish, so ich can be hard to diagnose in the gills of cichlids.
