Male Saulosi acting weird

[Yeaulman]

ok what is going on with him. Ever since I put a light in the tank, hes been up agains the front of the tank looking right at it and then charges. is he going after his reflection? What should I do?

My guess is that it's his way of saying to you 'feed me!'. If you sneak out of the room and watch him from where he can't see you does he still do it?

yes he still does this. I had the tank running with just the lights in the room on and some natural filtered light throgh the blinds. He only started doing this after I put a 55W PC light over the tank. This was right after and during feeding he does this.

If something in the room startles him, like my cat watching him, he will swim away and bother one of the females for a second then go dig under the lava rock. Then he gets bored and goes back to the glass and swims up against it.
