Leporinus acting weird

Ok - A couple of months ago you may remember that I had purchased a Leporinus Fasciatus from a LFS. Well, he has been fine for a couple of months, doing apparently what they do, until yesterday.

Yesterday morning as I ran out for work I noticed that he was standing perpendicular to the gravel head down motionless behind the heater (A place usually reserved for dead fish lol). I went to work thinking he was grazing (which they do incessantly). I came home that night exhausted and he was in the same position as I left for my girlfriends house. At this point, I was going to remove the dead animal, but was in a rush. So finally, I get home at noon today and there he is again. I remove some decorations to get the net in there and get him, and BAM he is good as gold. So good in fact that he went about chasing my Auratus all over the damn place.

Anyone ever seen this type of behavior before? Seems odd.
