He might just be seeing something there. Is this the only time he does it?

No he does it many times throughout the day. Feed the turtle and still does it.

Mine do this all the time. Not at anything in particular. I think maybe they're just entertaining themselves.

It sort of looks like he's going for some bubbles in the surface. Is the water agitated?
