The fish seemed to itch. There was something unusual about him

hey all
My fish has been acting strangely. Recently I have observed that it is constantly banging against rocks and pipes. It is rubbing against rocks and pipes with its gills. It seems to itch. What should I do，I suspect it has gill parasites。

Given what we know so far, the first conclusion would be that the fish has gill flukes. In the US, we have a product called Prazipro. I'm not sure what medication you would have available to you though.

Formalin will give temporary relief, but if you return the fish to the same tank, they can just get infected again. You could also try a 5 minute freshwater dip. If you see improvement a few days after doing that, you can confirm it is likely flukes.
A video/pictures and background information would be needed to tell you more.
