Marathon battle with flashing

Yikes, can’t believe you’re still dealing with this. Didn’t read the whole thread so ignore this if it’s already been covered but have you considered stray voltage from a faulty heater or pump?

Yes sir I sure have. Replaced both heaters two weeks ago with two new Eheim Jaguar 250’s.

Are those Wild caught fish or captive bred?

Just captive bred F1’s.

Just an update. Finishing up a 4 week treatment of ich that was spotted on 2 clown loaches. Flashing appears to be reduced but I did notice a clown loach and frontosa flash after a 40% water change today. That’s all I’ve noticed today though so I hesitantly want to say there’s been an improvement but also feel like I cannot continue treatment for much longer?

Again, my fear is that ich was either a secondary infection as to what was causing the flashing or B stoppage by the treatment too early without fully seeing a 100% elimination of the flashing could result in a re infestation. How long can treatment be continued? A month seems like a long time. Although, I should also note that it took quite a while to get up to the 3ppm salinity level and 85f+ temperature in the tank.
Thanks
