	Do fish need lights?
Hoa dude_dude Mega Fish Posts: 957 Kudos: 888 Votes: 72 Registered: 28-Dec-2004	Do fish need lights? (the ones directly on top of the tank) I have 2 normal (IMO) lights (swivelly ones so that I can point it to my fish tank) there are no live plants in the tank (2 guppies) (5 gal tank)
