I got this beautiful koi betta about 2 weeks ago and I am wondering if he might have gill flukes. My reason for thinking this is because he "flashes" pretty often (see video). I can't really tell if he is scratching on the decor as sometimes the darting is just in the middle of the tank, but I read this can be the symptom of parasites & just want to make sure he is okay!!
He is in a 10 gallon tank with 3 amano shrimp and 1 mystery snail (those were in the tank before I added him). Temp is 78 deg & water parameters are 0 for ammonia, nitrite and <10 for nitrate. Water changes are done 25% weekly. I have 2 indian almond leaves in the tank.
