I needed to k ow based on the video and picture is what I am experiencing velvet or ick or flukes so I can target how to treat the fish. I don’t have a QT which I can get one but wanted opinions first. Also none of the fish seem to be acting weird all eating well and no other issues.

Please try linking your videos differently, so we can see what we are looking at. You can link it/post the video to YouTube. Does anyone know other ways besides that?

In addition, basic information like temperature, tank mates, size, salinity, and more can help us figure out what he going on. Thank you!

As mentioned, the embedded videos tend not to work. A YouTube link would be much easier and get you help faster.
With velvet, the most notable symptom will be rapid breathing as well as swimming into flow. Spots usually don’t show up until much later in the infection (if at all).

It isn’t super clear, but that looks like late ich to me. Treatment would be the same as for velvet - copper in a qt tank.
