Notice fish behavior changing after dark

[JeffinMississippi]

I was just sitting here and turned out the lights in the tank with only
minimal light from another room but still enough to see the fish. I notice
the following:

1. The tetras really get close. When the light is on, they school but not
often, they are all over the tank.

2. The Loaches shoot up to the top of the tank and then back down, up and
down, really really fast.

3. It would appear the mollies are breaking water, trying to jump out of the
tank.

Just some of my observations.

My mollies hover in place, mostly after dark. They'll splash the water
when I walk by. Since they don't speak, I've just guessed that it's
either something they do to get attention or more food.
