Best to start a new post in the disease forum. Before posting read the sticky at the top for information the experts on here will need to help with treatment.

Appears tank is quite new and going through spikes and other water related including limited oxygen determined from fast breathing rate of this fish. The couple dots i see are likely ich and this fish will need to be placed in a Hospital/quarantine tank with treatment for ich and increased oxygen via air stone.
Didplay has a bit of free floating debris which neds to be siphoned up.
I see you are out of the country. What test kits are you using?
Treatment will be typically coppersafe for a full 30 days and monitored with a reliable copper test kit but not sure again what you have availble to you for medications??

your video works perfectly fine as i can see it. What's all the that stuff floating around? Algae wafers?
I'd listened to Vetteguy and put an airstone in there.

Hi. I just cleaned the side with a magnetic, which is why there is a lot algae floating around. I should have stated that in my original description, Sorry!. I Think i Will make a quarantine and see What happens and hopefully find some medication for it. It is quiet hard here in Denmark to find any

I tried googling up Copper medication for fish in Denmark and got nothing. Do you have any local fish store that you can ask?

ok I see nothing. - we can start there, 2. without a better history - though im sure lots of people will give opposite opinions - no clue - best wishes with your fish = see the link in my signature and answer the questions - to help us help you
I´m from Sweden - there is some differences between the Scandinavian countries but as I know it - esha trimarine containing copper and you can buy that at least in Swedish Webshops - here is an example However - you can't use it in the DT with invertebrates
