One of my female Zebra Danios occasionally flashes against the gravel. I dose the tank with Melafix every water change and because of the “flashing” have started a treatment of ESHA EXIT. Am I doing enough?

If its one of the females are you sure it isn’t irritation from being eggbound?
Fish can also flash if the have an itch as they cant scratch any other way. If its occasionally I wouldn’t worry too much, just keep an eye on them to make sure it doesn’t become more frequent :)

Should I continue with the ESHA EXIT, as I just started it today?

I think the esha are only 3 day treatmeants aren’t they? If so it might be worth finishing the course do a water change after its finished and see where you go ftom there :)
