i think its the rolling of their eyes which makes you think that they are blinking.
It is a common belief that because Fish don't have eyelid, they can't close or blink their eyes. But somehow, I spotted with my own blinking eye that Cory and Pleco do blink their eye. It is not like only once that I see them blinking but quite often with my cory in the comm tank. Although I never keep pleco, I like to look at the L-number whenever I am in the LFS, and I saw them blinking too. So, my question is, do I need to do a eye-check or do some particular fishes like Cory and Pleco do blink their eyes? Hope that the cory and pleco keepers can help me out with this.

I think I can differentiate between blinking and rolling of eyes. I really did see cory and pleco blinking their eyes. I saw some other same sighting in other fish forum, will try to post their link soon.

fish no eye lids how to blink? but they can "roll eyes" pretty fast.
Of course, 5 minute google search.
