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
What format (extension) is your video currently in?I run a light only during the day and then close it at night all night.

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
