I have had a small group of neolamprologus multifasciatus for around a year now and they have been doing great up until a week or two ago when I saw one of the fish flick itself off one of the shells. I thought nothing of it but as time went on i saw it happening more often and they seem to be 'flicking' more frantically. I have an idea that it could be gill flukes but does anyone have any ideas or have had a similar experience?

thanks a lot! I didn't realise that it could be ich as I can't see any white spots

My fish did this years ago and it was gill flukes.
Could be either or both. If it were me I'd treat with a combination of eSHa Exit and eSHa gdex, to cover my bets.
Or alternatively, it could possibly be some sort of skin irritation in response to poor water quality caused by high ammonia or chlorine etc.

yes, I feel that my shell dwellers would not be as co-operative as koi
