Get an extra tall, opaque plastic tote... and screen for the top... to put him in... that way he can't hit the top with his head, or if he hits screen it has some give to it so shouldn't hurt him... with the glass being clear, he is getting stimulation constantly, opaque tote will cut out a lot of that... give him a mirror and tape pics of yours and Michael's faces up on the inside walls...

And here's the biggie... when you put him to bed for the night, ignore his antics... may take a few days, but once he doesn't get attention by throwing fits, he will settle down and stop... tough love, daddys...

Tote sounds like a great idea going to try to get that tonight

I made a corral out of corrugated boxes taken apart and re-joined with duct tape. Cheap and disposable. I rigged up chicken wire over the top when they started jumping(only a few days!)

@Steven Mazzo - you can line it with that bubble wrap you've been hiding.

Bottom line, the 15 gal aquarium just not big enough! No wonder he's crabby.
