my 3 1/2" fahaka who ive had since he was a 1/4"long is starting to act skiddish. been happening on and off the last week. usually he likes to chase a finger on the glass and follow me around the room. but lately once in a while he will bolt off running into things and im afraid hes going to hurt himself. he does this even if i approach slowly. hes in a 125gal with a FX5. lots of hiding places and perfect water conditions. on a steady diet of snails, crays, and worms. is this a phase or is something wrong?
on a side not my GSP who is in a different room started acting like this about a month ago. i diddnt think much of it until my fahaka started doing it as well.

This may sound random, but are there ever children in the house? That could bang the glass?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

What are the exact water parameters?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
