Make your tank as safe for him as you can, also try using the blue LED moonlites for night time. My silver and black both seem to do better if not left in total darkness.

as bderick already stated, dont leave him in total darkness @ night.
u can also try this...
1. lower the water so he cant reach the top ( highly unlikey tho )
2. put something soft before the canopy like what i use...
i use the trasparent plastic that have air in it that u can pop ( dont know what its called)

Bubble wrap is better entertainment than TV....Is there a bubble wrap channel? LOL

Yup

perhaps the tankmates may be bumping into it at night, causing the jumpy behaviour.

I'd agree that having some lighting at night would be best if that's the case.

also check your water parameters. it might be that he is trying to escape the water.
