Is My Albino Crazy?

Or just having a good time

One of my albinos likes to swim in circles. Like in the mid region of the tank across the glass. He'l swim upwards and then go to the side, drop down, swim across and then up again and keeps repeating this behaviour.

My tank is healthy, all its stats are good, and nothing wrong with him.

Is this the cory dance? Does anyone else get this?

Only one of them?

When you have 2 or 3 are doing that, you will get eggs not long after. Of course, the fish have to be somewhat big enough to be matured. Since even young corys do that. I think they usually act like that when they are excited at something. That can be typical pre-spawning activity. I don't hink nothing to worry about. Of course, this is just my opinion and you may need to hear from someone more experienced in this matter.
I never owned the Albino. But my Pandas, Sterbais and Melanotanias do all the time. Although the time, speed and length of activity vary by the species. My Pandas do it at evening, my Melanotanias do it around noon and Sterbais around afternoon to evening.

Yeah just one of them doing what i explained above. But there has been another albino follow him as he does lengths of the tank across the glass lol. Theyre crazy, my peppers just chill on the bottom the majority of the time, or pick/hide in plants.

My Pandas were doing it the other day, 2 of the 3 that i have. But theyre only small, which is why i bought them because theyre cute (only about 2cm if that, whereas my Albinos are about 3-3.5cm)

The only time mine do that is when they are flirting. I almost always get eggs within a few hours. I have never seen the young ones doing it. I'm not saying that they didn't... I just didn't see them do it.
