My female jaguar is doing some weird stuff. She's about 5" and everytime i turn my lights off she goes nuts in one corner of my tank! In from of the vorner is the back wall of a log cave so no entrance and she either attacks the wall, or looks like shes trying to scratch against it but doesn't touch it so just the motion. and she constantly digs she picks up a bunch of gravel and swims to other side of the tank and spits it out. Then continues going nuts on the spot turning and flipping around quickly some times she even rolls. This has been happening very night for the past week or two and only when the light goes off and in the same spot everytime and erpeats everything. What could this mean? ill try to get a video in the coming nights
 
She's moving substrate as a natural pre-spawn behavior. Females will also use their body to move substrate. If there are plants or stones they will also try to grab them and 'spaz' and swim to move the item.

Alright thank you, I was assuming that but i'm new to the hobby and still learning. I wanted some good experienced owners/MFK'rs help so thank you!
