Pet Forum / Aquaria / General / January 2004How to improve colours in a tank?
I have a nice tank now, some red guppies, blue guppies, 15 or so cardinals, 4 blue discus, 4 red pidgeon discus, 4 silver dollars, 8 black / marbled angels, assorted smaller coloured fishes, plecos. Trouble is, the tank looks a bit drab nd I am sure it ought to possible to brighten the colours a bit. I currently have a green back to the tank (paper outside) and a single strip light. Would a UV light strip do any good or just blind the fish? What would be good?

Spotlights instead of tubes can also give a good effect. |
