Fungus Issues and a Sad Cory Lover

Recently I lost one of my favorite (and one of my first) fish to fungus. One day my Panda Cory was fine, the next I noticed a huge amount of fungus on him and started treatment, but it was already too late and he died :( are there any nonstandard signs that a fish has fungus before it becomes visible? Thanks,

Grace

Flashing is the same as a fish scratching. They get up close to decor and seem to bounce off it fast it changing direction. In fish with a metallic sheen in a directional light you can see what looks like flashes of light. Some fish will do it to display to potential mates, but it can often be the first sign of ich or other "itchy" illness. They seem to be trying to scrape off the annoyance on a rock. If your decor is sharp, like lava rock, fish can injure themselves doing this.
