Why is my sivler dollar fish hitting the sides of the tank?

He is alone right now so I do not know if that is the reason. I do not have the light on I am trying to kept down the stress but he will be fine for days and then he starts the jumping and hitting himself at the glass. Any suggestions?

    A fish would be mesmerized with it quite is mirrored image interior the glass if it quite is tank does not have decorations. This is composed of swimming into the glass and chasing it quite is mirrored image. the 2nd which you start to characteristic plant life, driftwood, or maybe great stones the fish will supply up swimming into the glass. particularly, your purpose is to grant the fish something extra powerful to have interaction with. i won't be in a place to show you how to be attentive to techniques many fish i've got had who "swim the glass", and magically supply up while i ultimately elect to characteristic plant life and rock artwork. It particularly makes a distinction.
