Sounds like animal crackers in my soup but not funny.
1. All of my fish itch (are rubbing the rocks and substrate). Not severely but every once in awhile.
2. One but not both of my electric yellows has developed vertical blackish stripes and one horizontal one along the lateral line.
3. My red zebra now has markings like an electric yellow (black stripes on fins) and is sorta a brownish color with some splotchy places on its sides that are darker. He was such a pretty orange color less than a week ago.
His tank mate doesnt show any of this.
4. My peacock only one of the two has some dark black spots on his sides and his anal fin that werent there before.
5. My jewel (only one of the pair) shows the same black spots on his head around his eyes. These black spots all appear to be part of coloration not a growth.
What I have done because of the itching. Tried an antibiotic didnt work.
tried an anti protozoan didnt work. Tried and anti ich med didnt work.
Changed water and filters after each as perscribed. and even more than recomended didnt work. HEEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!!!
My fish in a 75 gal
2 red zebras
2 jewel cichlids
2 electric yellows
2 cobalt zebras (appear unaffected but still itch)
2 peacocks
1 kenyi appears unaffected but still itches)
1 pleco (unaffected Doesnt even itch)
1 rainbow shark (Doesnt itch either)
ps do kenyi's dorsal fins turn yellow? sorry about how long this was
