Danios scared of light?

The danios also may be spawning. Mine did it almost every morning
when the lights first turned on. Look more closely and see if they are
like, doing it and stuff.

LOL, after reading your message and then thinking about it, I turned the
light on just now (an irregular time for my danios), and they freaked out.
They darted from on side of the tank to the other, and then finally hided
in
the rocks and sea shells. I am convinced that they don't like the "sudden
turn" of the lights.

Who knows.

I used danios to start up a new tank. At first, they would do what you
said, hide when the lite came on. Then I put the light on a timer, goes
on
at 7am for 3 hours then at 5pm for 4 hours. Also, I made it a habit to
feed
them when the light came on at 7am. Now, when the light comes on, they
swim
up to the surface and dart around waiting for the food to drop in.

Probably one has nothing to do with the other, but just my experience.

Hello,

I am currently using a 9 watt bulb that came with my tank. Whenever I
turn
it on, I've noticed that my danios go and hide under the power filter.
They
come out occasionally but seem not to like the light.

Should I stop using the light or will they get used to it?

Thanks.
