Hey there. Sometimes my arowana goes up to the glass of the tank and acts like hes fighting his own reflection. Maybe he thinks he is? It's kind of wierd. He'll swim back and forth sometimes opening his mouth as he attcks the glass. He seems like avery peaceful fish otherwise. Any ideas? Should I be worried?
 
Not sure why he attacks the glass, but its not his reflection. Just as you can look thru the glass and see the fish, the fish can see out. Yeah there are reflections, but its always to the side, not directly ahead. Maybe it sees something in the room that triggers aggressive behavior?
