Flow too strong or just surfing?

Just to address the video there. My yellow coris used to do what I called "sharking" every day. He would swim at the surface of the water creating a V in the water behind him. He never did this into the current of a powerhead, just swam around a little at the surface then went back to exploring. The comments that swimming into the flow of a powerhead or return are a sign of velvet are very correct. This is one of those symptoms that seems to be singular to velvet. I would keep a close eye on all your fish and watch for physical signs as well as other behavioral signs.... Just to be safe. Look for: heavy breathing, hiding from the light, lack of appetite, a white or gold dusting over the body, pale color, lethargy and of course swimming into the flow.
