30 gallon tank and a Green Terror?

I recently set up a 30-gallon tank at my new apt. and moved my GT in. He went from a 20-gallon to a 30-gallon and is the lone occupant, as he was in the 20-gallon. He has completely changed behavior (no shock, right?) He has become far more aggressive and active in the larger tank and he has started doing this crazy thing on the tree trunk that I have in the tank.

Basically, he found a recessed spot in the trunk and he spins himself around and around that spot, sometimes rubbing himself on it. Not his sides as seen in ich, his abdomen which brings me to the next thing ...

In front of his anus there is something ... protruding. I have never seen it before on him, it is whitish and honestly looks like an egg. I'm not saying that's what it is, just saying that's what it looks like.

My GT is about 3.5 inches and has some really nice coloring.

I did notice a spot in the tank with no gravel and wasn't sure how it got cleaned to the glass.

I am not really looking to do breeding, I don't have the money or space for a larger tank right now.

I just wanted to make sure he wasn't sick or something.

Does he look like he is trying to clean off a flat rock or clean off the bottom of the tank to the glass? He might be thinking of mating, if so. If you are interested in breeding him, you would need a bit bigger tank, I think.

Thats way too small, and not a good combo. You should get a bigger tank for the convicts, and get a new tank for the green terror
