That makes sense, but I noticed it the day after I did a 40-50% water change, it may have been there before and and I didn't notice.

If it just started a day or so after a large WC then it may just be a PH fluctuation and not ich. I've noticed fish will flash for a day after a large WC due to PH changes, especially at this time of year (winter) when they seem to treat the water heavier at city water plants.

That makes a lot more sense than ich since they still haven't spread at all. Hopefully that's it
