Hey folks. I’ve got a silver arowana. About 2 feet in size in an 8ft tank 265g. He has been attacking his reflection a lot lately. I wonder is it because there isn’t as much algae build up and he sees himself? This is new. I just want to make sure he isn’t stressed out. He is eating. But when he gets to this specific corner he attacks his reflection

I run a light only during the day and then close it at night all night. I just hope it’s not an indication of the tank being too small caaaauuuussseeee the tank is already huge. He has had a “panic” attack where he was startled for no reason at all and started to go crazy jumping up and slicing off a few of his scales. He’s been good since but has increasingly attacked his reflection. I’m trying to post a video but says the uploaded file does not have an allowed extension 
This is my tank. His is much larger now (pic taken in September
I use Android so perhaps another could help better with any Iphone video issue. Also, I might be wrong, but I think the system doesn't allow longer/heavier videos to be uploaded directly to the site -- best to first upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo, etc. -- then share the link via the Insert [Media] button (located in between the smiley face and the camera icons in little menu above each post).
I found that if I don't run my light at all he's fine or I run a light blue light from my led bar
