My fish are rubbing them selfs on the gravel and objects,
they seem to be healthy so i tested for ph, nitrate,and nitrites or are within normal levels so i bought some ammo lock2 and it's not as bad as it was but the problem still there.
Can someone help? :D
 
Flicking and rubbing are normally signs of high nitrate readings or badly filtered water with lots of debries floating around,what exactly were the readings that you say were fine?Try doing a large water change of about 50% and giving the filter media a good rinse (in the old tank water)and it should stop,if it dosen't then it could be a kind of microscopic parasite that will require a course of treatment to get rid of it.
