Check your water parameters. Ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Try doing a water change.
That sort of behavior could indicate your fish is under some type of stress due to possible, poor water conditions. Check your parameters. If you don't have a test kit, try changing 50% of the water ASAP to see if there is any improvement in the behavior of the fish.

Alright, i did that. We'll see how it all plays out. He seems to be acting a little bit less crazy now... Too early to tell I guess.

I flushed the flipping tetra after watching him do his show for 8+ hours. This morning, the leftover 4 fish are all surviving. Sad day.
