I would be inclined to suggest to you to add some floating plants and to have a "timed/progressive" lights on. I had 3 Trichogasters that would freak out when the lights would come on, swim into the tank walls or try to jump out and hit the lights and lid.
I added floating plants, quite a lot ( but not black out ), and having 4 fluorescent tubes, I put each tube on a different timer to progressively bring the tank to daylight over a tube lighting every 20 minutes. - ( Same for sun down . ). I progressively removed the floating plants - over a period of 3 months - to leave only few and now all is coolios.
