"spazzy" fish??

[zurus]

Is it normal for my albino red zebra to be doing a spazzy twitching movement? He/she (i think it's a she??) swims around normally and then will just spaz out or twitch. Other than the weird movement she (?) seems to be fine.

mine does the same thing I think this has something to do with breeding, I'm not sure though.

Is this the only one of the breed in the tank?

It may be a male.  Males will often "shimmy" and shake as a sign of dominance and to advertise the willingness to breed.

I have one red zebra (who I think is a male as it has the egg spots) and 2 albino zebras (which I believe are 2 females). I have just noticed the one albino doing the "shimmy".

I have 3 females, all have egg spots.    just an FYI. 
I'm betting the "shimmier" is a boy.

Yep, Egg Spots are not a reliable method of identification...ever.

hmm..just when I was beginning to think that I had them figured out!!! At least I (maybe) know that the "dancer" is a guy now. Since the other one isn't doing it, maybe it's a female?? I had an image of a bunch of mini albino zebras swimming around in the near future but the other one doesn't seem too attracted to the obvious signs of "wanting to hook up".

Oh by the way, the whole dominance issue with my demasoni's has been cleared up and it looks like the male got demoted. It kinda looks like the females are running the show.
