My fish (unknown species and sex) has its gills puffed out and fins flared and is waving around in the corner (away from other fish) then attacking the glass. Can it see its reflection and is trying to kill it or breed with it? Stupid fish hahaha

Sent from my EVO using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
 
not so uncommon, if i get my butti mad she will attack the back glass for hours
 
I have an Oscar that does that, he will spend hours in one corner and show off and then every 5 minutes or so attack his reflection lol. Some times jumping nearly out of the tank hitting the lid in the process.
