He needs a female, how nice to have a male who's so 'normal' aren't they all vain and flirty?

Flying Foxes can be aggressive towards their own species, so you are likely seeing a very stressful attack on himself. It would be best if you didn't subject it to that stress very often. Stress can weaken fishes' immune systems, making them more susceptible to disease.

EDIT: If you get him a female, he will likely just chase it to death. Flying Foxes are best kept without their own species.

Probably thinks the reflection is a rival, so...

Yes... mine too. He might be playing or trying to chase him away for territorial means

My dog barks at his reflection in the window as if he's barking to another dog. I guess recognizing one's reflection is a higher intellectual capacity that some animals just don't have.

It is most likely to be territorial reasons.
