if i were you i would leave the light on during the day and turn the light off when you go to bed. This reason is during the day, like in the wild the sun which in this case is the light warms up the water, and then at night when the sun goes down the water cools off!

You can do one of three things. 1. Leave the pregnant fish alone in the main tank and just let the pregnancy happen. They baby fish will probably find hiding places themselves. 2. Get a breeding tank. Leave the pregnant fish in the main tank and then when you see a fry, net it, and put it in the breeding tank. 3. Get a breeding tank and put the pregnant fish in it and just leave it. Whenever the pregnancy is over, put the pregnant fish in the main tank but leave the fry in breeding tank.

The energy for the plants in a fish tank is supplied by Light.
The best type of light bulb for a fish tank is an LED light bulb. LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and provide the right spectrum of light for fish and plants in the tank.
yes i leave the lip on the lid on the tank because it will jump out \
A fish tank needs a light to provide illumination for the fish and plants inside. Light helps fish see, regulates their biological functions, and promotes the growth of plants through photosynthesis.
Turn the light off or get a smarter fish.
that depends what you want to do with the tank if you want a planted tank then dont go with a LED light inless the plants are very hardy and dont require a lot of light. if its just for fish go with the LED light. i have a LED light on my fish tank and my fish are doing great. i dont have any plants but i might get some hardy, low light ones. LED also saves energy
Yes, it is recommended to keep a light on in a fish tank for about 8-12 hours a day to simulate a natural day-night cycle for the fish and plants inside.
You should be aiming for between 8 and 12 hours. about the same time as the sun is up. this helps with the natural environment of the tank, the plants will grow nicely, there wont be loads of algae everywhere, and your fish will behave more naturally. this can obviously be adjusted to suit when you will be looking at the tank, after all your paying for it :P. I have mine on around 11am-9pm because this is when im most likely to be home! too light can lead to an algae bloom and make your tank go green, if this happens don't leave your tank on for so long. it might also help to keep natural sun light off of the tank. tom :)
The best aquatic light bulbs for a fish tank are LED lights, as they are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and provide the right spectrum of light for plant growth and fish health.
