the fact that he has a shaking motion means he want to get rid of something that bother him on his skin, it can be parasites, temp, new water, etc.. You alway have to quarantine new fish, some people can get away with it in few time but they will pay latter, bad..rea; bad, later. Quarantene a fish is not cheap and time consuming. I like not to quarantene at all, if you want that, then when you buy fish, ask the owner what they do for quarantene? most of simple pet shop (as i recconize from your fish) do not, they buy from distubutor and sell to you do nothing, salt is not enough (as i see them do) If you buy from special koi shop, which price can 10 time higher they probably do a good quarantene job. However, still have to quarantene your fish, since 2 fish have been together couple days, chance of transmitting parasite is already occur, you as well quarantene both, and your gold fish too, seem like we get into big trouble here, since Suppavern will kill gold fish. Hopefully you do not have Fluke then we can get away with just Proform C or Quickcure. For procedure of quarantene, please check this website: sacramentokoi.com, i found that is the most effective with the cost. Be cool and keep learning, there is a lot more to come.
