is your tank in direct sunlight? it sounds like you might have algae growing super fast. toss a common pleco in there.
yea man you need to turn your light off. There is reallly no reason to have it on unless youre looking at the tank anyways.
At very least turn it off at night when you aren't watching them. Do you have bunch of live plants? If you don't I wouldn't even use a light but maybe just a lil at night. Lol I only have 2 light for least a dozen tanks.n I have plants in almost all of them!plants will help your problem also. alge has a harder time going when plants are stealing its food.
they should be fine in the dark. Just try and theyll get use to it. Most fish it is the opposite and they freak out when the light is on. THe light is most likely what is causing the algae problem.
