My tank runs on a natual sun light cycle. I may turn on the lights now and then when I want to "show off" the tank.
I do it also at feeding time.
My fishes become active when the lights are on.
When the lights are off, they go into their corner to sleep.
Fishes are happy and doing well.
3 years later.
Now we like to use the light as a night light in the house, because of our child.
Question:
Does that mess the fishes up since now they get no sleep?
Will it cause additional stress?
How important is the "natural light cycle?"
