Fish swimming back and forth against glass

This isn't a cichlid question but is regarding my black skirt tetras and their frequent behaviour of swimming up against the glass at one end of the tank or pacing up and down the back wall of the tank. At first I wondered if they were just reacting to their reflections but I worry that they may be going 'stir crazy'. You may see from a recent thread that I changed my tank layout yesterday but they have been doing this frequently for weeks. Tank parameters are all fine and stable. Tank is 15 gallons, 24 inches wide. 5 black skirts and 5 black neons in with 1 adult Cacatuoides male and 2 juvenile females. Can post a video if it would help.
