Also, the parasites you can see on the fish are not flukes. Flukes can only be seen with a microscope. they are probably either fish lice or anchor worms which can be controlled with Dimilin. The carp pox is nothing to worry about...it goes away when the water warms up.
Breaking the surface of the water is known as "Breaching" and is the fish's attempt to get more air into his gills. I have a fish that has done this ever since I had her and she is fine....probably just old gill damage from before I got her. but if your fish never did it in the past and now it is, then it is a problem. The fish is trying to get more air because her gills are compromised.
