    Is algae bad for fish?

It can also inhibit certain natural breeding behaviors, but if you find it calming it should not be detrimental to your pets.

    started a topic Aquarium lighting

    I tried searching this but couldn't find a clear answer.

    Is anything wrong with leaving the fluorescent lights on at night? Does it keep the fish awake ? When do fish sleep? I have a 21"color changing LED light wand that makes bubbles, can I leave it on all the time? Do the bubbles keep them awake? Thanks in advance for the advice
