those A. Cacatuoides fry in my 10g tank just start to swim.. However, I got a question to ask: do I need to keep the light on all day, 24 hr?
I saw when the light off, fry just get panicked and swim all over the tank, and the female kind of hard to handle the situation, some fry still be left out alone..

Are there any preditors in the tank? If not, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. You can also keep a night light on near the tank to give some indirect lighting. If there are preditors, I'd rather just keep the light on for their safety.
