It depends on the positioning of the light. I have a bunch of copy paper propped against the side of my tank, which seemed to ease her reflection chasing anxiety. But yeah, I would definitely turn the light off at night.

He will constantly go out looking for it and makes bubble nests when he's done or even while trying to fight it. He will go out on a searching spree for it, even some times longer than necessary.... XD LOL.

i think he is trying to find it to finish it off, and the bubble nests r to mark his territory, hes not mad tis gone, hes mad he didnt kill it before u took it away.
