smnst Hobbyist Posts: 148 Kudos: 92 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Feb-2003 | What would be the best light bulbs for enhancing fish that are brightly colored, in particular, cichlids like jack dempseys and green terrors? Thanks |

If you have plants in the tank... go with a 6700k, but if it is just for enhancing fish colours 10 000k would bring them out nicely. Hope this helps. Eric Last edited by ericm at 06-Sep-2005 19:18 |
