Why are most fish light on the bottom side and dark on the top side?

That is part of nature's camouflage to protect the fish. The fish coloration, as you descibe it, makes it more difficult for a predator (fish or man) to see the fish from above (dark against the dark background of the water and sea or lake bottom) and from beneath (light against the light background of the sunlit atmosphere). This camouflage scheme has evolved over the centuries; those fish that were not so protected did not survive as well as those that were, and did not produce new generations as efficiently.


Why do cats eyes light up at night?

A layer on the retinas of the cat's eyes reflects the light so that more light reaches the macula (yellow spot), where the light is received by the photoreceptor cells, which alters the cat's "night vision." The same structure is found in all mammals including humans, and is responsible for "red eyes" caused by flash during photography. However, in nocturnal animals such as cats, it is more developed, so that it is often seen to light up.I was searching for the name of this layer, as I forgot it.EDIT: this layer is called the tapetum lucidum. Easy to remember: "lucid tapestry." Look it up on Wikipedia.
