I brought home 5 julii cories last Sunday and they've been in QT ever since. Yesterday I noticed that one was flashing along the bottom and another was doing it today.

Water parameters are fine - test with API Master Kit
Temp is at 80

There is no substrate...could it be stress or is it more likely ich in the gills? There aren't any white spots.
 
Thoughts? If it's most likely ich, I want to start treating right away, but aren't cories intolerant of salt?
 
Do you have any pictures? Flashing could be for a number of reasons, I use Prime and sometimes my cories flash after a water change, could be Nitrite, or contaminate in the water. What exactly are the parameters.
