Question I Need Answering Please....

[Harlequins]

Every since i've had albino cory fry,they do the strangest thing....

When i turn the tank light on they act pretty normal.

When i turn it off most of the albino fry dive upwards??? and this is the only time they do it....

Theres bronze fry in there from the albinos spawnings,but they dont dive up...strange or what??

Any ideas why they do this??

I asked a question when i first joined the forum about Albinos being blind (as most albino species have poor eyesight or are blind), and no one could offer any explanation. I wonder if you get any joy?? This could explain things.

Never heard of this, but thats the bizzarest thing, I have read books on fish and most when the lights are turned off there bodyies go into a low energy state.

Can't really think of anything that would cause that.


Maybe its just one of those things that know one knows.
