The tank looks a bit small, how many gallons is it?

He looks okay for now, but that sharp looking plastic plant in the corner could easily damage his fins. Plastic decorations like that are not rally recommended for these fish as they have very delicate long fins. I’d also add a lot more cover at the top and mid of the tank, as it looks a bit empty, from the little glimpse I got from the video! Go for silk or really ideally easy beginner friendly live plants like anubias, java fern, mosses, valisneria and some floaters at the top to give him lots of resting and hiding places, points of interest/enrichment, as well as create some shade as they are not fans of bright lights.
