    Is it followed up by random bursts of speed and twitching?

    I've noticed that amongst normal swimming/activity when a fish gives a random dart through the water it might be the beginning stages of an external parasite. Don't get all worried though. Just keep an eye on it to see if it starts scratching etc. . Or, actual visual signs such as spots etc. . My idea could be totally off base though. Just an idea. Unless it's going through some random ritual.

    Could be ich as mission suggested.

    My domino did that and it did turn out to be ich. I bought him a skunk shrimp and it rotisseried him for a few day. Viola! No more ich. He's even grown his scratched off tail back. :)

    Good luck my friend.
