ok so the other day i did a 50 water change and i had to take my fh out of the tank because he thinks my fingers are food. i put him in a 3 gallon long bucket for like the 20 minutes it took me to do the tank, just as i was about to put him back he jumped out. so i caught him flapping across my living room and put him back in the bucket to rinse him off then back in the tank. and since that day he wont stop attacking the sides of his tank and slamming his head on the lid of the tank. what the hell is he doing? did i cause brain dammege? lol he has always been mean now he is just plain an ass. whats wrong with my fish!?!?
my fh went nuts!

Probably is kinda scared or maybe it's hurt? just pay some attention and watch if it's still like that
I have same problems with my Devils 
I bought a huge long gravel vacuum so I didn't put my hands in tank.
I also attached a sponge to a long pvc pipe to wipe glass again to keep my hands out of DANGER !
My fish nail me every chance they get

How big is the tank? Oftentimes when they are glassbanging and they aren't breeding or looking in a mirror its because the tank is too small.
A six incher should probably have a 55 gallon by itself. That should be alright until its about a foot, then you will be needing a 75 at least. If you keep a fish contained in an environment that it thinks is too small it will keep bashing the sides and top of the tank. Its just trying to get out probably.
