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?
