Symptons of flashing and how to fix it

[Jason7894561230]

Hey,
So I think my Shell Dwellers have been flashin and i have no idea what to do. They are rubbing against the rocks and im not sure if this is flashin or not. If so what do i do?
Thanks All

Usually that is flashing, are there any spots on them? Any agressive behaviour between them?

 

[Jason7894561230]

No agression except from the two males that both have different shells and they dont normally go near eachother. As for the spots no there isnt either. Should i do i small water change?

Cichlids do some crazy and weird things... I would just keep and eye on them... When I first got my Malawi African cichlids I thought one was choking lol come
To find out he was just Doing some sort of dance... We named him Croak. U have a pretty good knowledge in fish. You'll know when something is wrong

Thanks Flossie, I guess i might be a little bit over cautious because i just went down to feed them and saw they were moving the sand and they were putting it on the rocks and coming up really fast. I should tell you there are so many ditches now lol. But just to be on the safe side im going to do a water change and closely moniter their behaviour

Sounds like a plan yeah my cichlids love to dig. It's entertaining lol

Never hurts to do a water change as you know. Hopefully it is because of their new territory and settling in.
