Could be any number of external parasites including Gill flukes, Anchorworms, Ich, .....
 
they have been doing this for about a week and I havent seen any spots on them the other thing Gill flukes Anchorworms how can i tell if they have it and what sould i do to treat them I just changed water yesterday about 50%
 
From my understanding, anchor worms can be seen quite easily. I may be wrong though, as I have never encountered them. You may want to wait for some more replies or google them. Flukes can be treated very effectivly with Prazi.
