Can i do this to our fish tank also?

change the regular light bulb and make it a black light bulb or orange light bulb or any diffrent color other than white??and why or why not??Can i do this to our fish tank also?I have seen people do it and I know you can buy different color bulbs at Petsmart. The only thing that may be affected are live plants, but if you have fake plants it shouldn't be a big deal. I would still hang onto the white bulbs if it seems like the fish don't like it. I would imagine the fish would want the light to reflect their natural habitat.

You can but I'd be careful doing it. It depends on two things, the type of fish you have in the tank and the plants (if any) you have in there. Most plants will die off if you put anything other than a natural/fluorescent light bulb in it. You need plants in the tank to provide extra oxygen.

You also need to consider how much heat the bulb gives off. I overheated a small tank before I learned this lesson.



Check with the pet stores, they have colored 'mini' lights for accents, that might give the effect you want.



Also, if you can, switch your main lighting to fluorescent if it isn't already. They give off less heat, use way less power, and last a lot longer than incandescent. They come in a few colors, too, including a blue 'night' color.
yes you can but only if you have a live plants will i'v don it and i don't recommend you with that coz it will be very dim and your fish wont be clear to see!!!!!!
i myself once in a while change the light bulb to a different color

i have only seen them in blue, green and red so far

i have used all 3 of them at one point



the blue one, gives the tank a very nice tint, but is very dark

the red one, gives it a red tint, but you can see the fish better

the green one, well that one is the darkest one, and i could hardly see my fish at all



it's all a personal preference
depends on your brand of tank.



if you have a regular rectangular tank you can get a vast aray of different tank lights, this one is a new LED lighting system:

There are also these pod LED lights available in various colours:

I wouldn't recommend black light long term as it can stress out the fish.
