Black lights are not recommended because they just make the tank look crappy and the UV radiation is thought to harm the fish (as it does humans).

It you want moonlight, there are special LED lights that are bluish in color but are safe to use for fish.

Blacklight will sunburn the fish which is what Cory Addict was refering to .
