What is flashing? not for Humans but for Fish! :eek:
I was reading in the ICH article about it and someone had commented that their fish are flashing and I have NO idea what this means :thud:
 
flashing is when a fish moves closely and then quickly rubs a rock or other decoration in the tank, making such a movement that you see their bodies sort of "flash" because of how quickly they move, they are actually scratching themselves on the decoration/gravel.
 
D-Doll summed it up perfectly. It can be a sign of any number of external parasites. Gill flukes, anchorworms, Ich so on and so forth. If you have a fish flashing, make sure to keep a close eye on all of the tank occupants and see if there is anything out of the ordinary about both their appearance and their behavior.
