juvenile jack dempsey glass surfing?

[KevDiamond823]

got a new 125 gallon tank 3 months ago and i have a young jack dempsey about 2 inches that constantly swims up/down/left/right on the glass until someone goes up to the tank or feeds it. my water temp is 79, ph 7.2, ammonia/nitrate/trite 0. tank makes are a convict, green terror, and 2 firemouths and they all act normal. i can't see any visual issues with the jack dempsey it's colors are good and eats like a pig. do you think this is something that will go away as it matures or could there be an issue? i love the fish and it bothers me that it doesn't act like the other fish. anyone ever experience this with a JD or any similar cichlid before

He could actually be begging for food. I know someone who's Oscar does that.
