BK - I don't think you need to READ all the posts. Important thing is to be observant and watch your fish, which it sounds like you do. Becomes pretty clear when there is a problem (father's intuition and shit :wink: ).

The guys at the local aquaculture farm here said flashing can be general agression too. We saw the fish in their ponds doing it while swimming around.

I did 3ppt and it cleared ICH pretty well - see no reason to increase above that. VB went 4ppt and said he could taste salt in the plants

I don't seem to have an ICH problem. My fish came from Ausyfish at Childers.

In future, however, I'll quarantine any new fish in a hospital tank until I'm sure that they are clean. That's pretty much recommended practice with any small livestock.
