Odd Behavior?

[Zach77]

So I got a new whitetail bristle tooth tang yesterday and since putting it in the tank it’s been trying to fight its reflection. It’s been about five years since I’ve added a tang and I’ve never had this issue before. There’s no mirror, it’s just the reflection of the glass (thanks waterbox ;-)). Anyone experience this before, will it just pass?

I thought I could post a video of the behavior, but I guess no videos? Here’s a photo

where he’s on the left just running u and down the left pane of glass.

My bristle tooth did the same thing. Mine is still skittish even after being in the tank almost 2 years.

Let the glass grow some algae film on it and see if that levels him out

Most of my fish did that for at least the first couple days.

Thought mine was the only one.
