Yes, the mirror could excite the fish. This is a device commonly used to get bettas to flare. It can cause territorial fish such as cichlids to charge the glass and we don't want the fish smashing their faces on the glass. You're going to have to come up with another arrangement for the tv or something.

Mirror Background For Fish Tank

OK I am going to take the oppisite point of view here. I had a mirror on the back of one of my betta tanks for years. Over the time I had it on there, I had 4 different bettas in that tank with the mirror, and not a single one ever hurt himself. After a day or so they figure out that there is no other fish and they stop trying to attack their reflection. They would try every know and then, but never enough to hurt themselves. Fish are not stupid you know...

I won't work. The fish will end up killing themselves by smashing their faces in the glass as the person above said. They will think it's another fish. Your gonna have to come up with something else.
