I have an 7 inch rhom. Just lately he has started attacking his filter, and the lid on the tank. He is hitting these very hard and scraping himself up pretty good. It just suddenly started 2 weeks ago. At first it was just at night, I left the lights on and it stopped, now he does it no matter what, even with me watching him. Any Ideas on what the problem could be?
Water parameters are good.
 
what are the water parameters? post up the numbers if you have them.
 
A buddy of mine said that he had a really aggressive pirahna that ate all the others in the tank and would constantly attack the lid and lights and even got out of tank. He said that's how it actually died, he found it out of tank with lid off.
Does it act aggressively towards other fish? Or is it in tank by itself?
 
Howdy,

Do you have a grounding probe to eliminate possible stray current?
