Copperband chasing reflection

[Jase4224]

Basically my new copperband is obsessed with its reflection all day and not eating as a result. I’m feeding NLS pellets and frozen mysis to the tank.

I was not worried about this behaviour initially because it was only happening in the afternoon and the fish would search the rocks during the day. But now it’s all day at one end of the tank.

Tank is 180gal and only has a few very peaceful tank mates.

I have not encountered this before! Any advice?

Cheers

Put a piece of black paper over that end of the tank and see if it helps.
