copperband twitching its head

[daniella3d]

Mine was also breathing fast and darting, shaking its fins etc..

I am pretty sure he had flukes because he was breathing quite a bit faster than normal and that's better now. I know the twitching can be nervous too, but the fast breathing when the fish is not stressed is wierd.
