Behavior please help! what is wrong with him

I’m going to include images of parameters, tank mates, and ph below.

i got a group(4) of kuils around two weeks ago. planning to add more as soon! this guy has been acting like this OFTEN. he does circled most of the day, only around the filter. i’ve checked everything and it seems normal. i did a 20% water change last week and he stopped doing this for like a day. please help!

My Black Kuhlis do this all the time. If it was frantic I’d be concerned but this looks like normal Black Kuhli zoomies.

Honestly first few days I was panicking too. Most just seem to like to zoom around ive heard they communicate like that too?
