Just going through the cycle of trying everything to make one of my L95 better.

Flashing, looks a bit uncomfortable, fins clamped more than normal. Breathing seems to be roughly the same and eats like a beast still. No Ich, no flukes. When it flashes it will bump into things and goes between the rocks a lot which I thought was foraging but I think it is more for relief although I could always be wrong.

The water is fine nitrates are 20ppm that is my local tap water at it’s best but all fish are fine with this.

It’s the only fish flashing. The tank is not overstocked. I have 9 plecos and various fish in good health. It’s not ich also not flukes. Just a bit baffled. It’s been 12 days of this behaviour at first I thought it was an expression of dominance over the other L95 but it’s definitely some sort of irritation from something.

Anyones 2cents would be appreciated 😊
