Do fish need to have the aquarium lights turned off during the night?
Is turning off the lights necessary for them to rest? I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I leave 1 of the 2 lights on during the night. would the light interfere with thier resting or in another way?It doesn’t seem like it affects them but maybe im wrong.
Fish need a rest period just like every other creature. Leaving the light on just promotes algae growth.
