I have observed dats displaying similar behavior to what you describe and it sounds like yours is being bothered by parasites.How long have you had the dat?

Only about 10 days. I was just watching him 15 mins ago he flicked himself about 7 times

I have never heard of that stuff but it might work in clearing your dat of it's patasites.I would recommend treating it with Prazi Pro if you can get it in your area.

Parasites seem more likely though I've seen datnoids act this way roght before getting ich. Though the ich could have come on as a result of stress from a parasite.
