They aren't usually swimming like that!!
Hello and I'm sorry for your troubles... I need you to answer A few questions so someone or myself can help you...
1) What are your water parameters such as ammonia and nitrites?
2) What are the water conditions? Such as hardness and PH
3) Has the tank been cycled and if so how?
4) What is the tank size?

Ok thank you for your reply. Do I need an youtube account for that?
Yes... They only need your email and then you come up with a name and password... You may also need your email password as well but I forget it's been a while since I set mine up

Ok, I see what you mean... They are definitely irritated by something in the water... See how they keep going against the glass and the gravel? Thats them itching a ton... Definitely answer the questions I asked otherwise we can't help much
They have fin rot or excess mucous or both
I reccomend a salt bath @Colin_T ‘s salt bath instructions are good
Actually no... While this is a very serious thing I actually think it could be ammonia at play... The OP still hasn't answered the questions I've asked... We have no data on the tank.

Been keeping fish for 1 year so I would assume it's cycled but I never knew I had to do a cycle
Tank is 70l
Plants and driftwood
