Danios scared of light?

Turn on the room light first, leave it a minute or two.
Walk up to the tank, let the fish settle, then put their
light on.

My clown loaches dash away and hide if you just put
the tank light on. Takes a while before they come back out.

I find that unless I turn on the room lights a few minutes before the tank
lights, my "danio tank" inhabitants behave in a similar fashion. I think
it's just the surprise of going from dark to full bright in an instant. Just
a thought.
