Should I tern off the light in my fish tank when I go to bed2007-11-24 23:39:58

The fish tank is in my room.

Answers:

Yes. Fish sleep too and since they don't have eye lids they have a very hard time getting a good nights sleep with the light on.

it doesnt matter-whatever is best for you

---

well unless u need the light to sleep i'd say yes because fish do sleep too.

---

Yes, fish need a day and night cycle too, otherwise they will become stressed. Do leave your filter on though.

---

Yes you should. You should because the water in the fish tank to get over heated from being in the light too long. And you can wear out the light bulb quickly. See the light bulb tends to get extremely hot, and the water has to be at the right temp. so you don't want to water to get over that temp.

Yes, you should..In research I have found that turning off the lights allows the fish to rest at night, so that you can enjoy them being active during the daytime and will be better for you to enjoy. altho you did say they were in your room, I would still recommend turning it off..

Yes, you should tUrn off the lights. fish don't have eyelids, so the only way for them to get any "sleep" is when it is near completely dark.

---

Fish need 12 hrs of lite and 12 hrs of dark, so it would be wise to turn the lite off

---

Yes, the light should be cut off. I keep a Siamese Fighting Fish in my room and his light goes out at night. Not only does the light affect their sleep but it could also warm the water if left on for long periods of time.

---

you can or u can use the fish light as an light or leave it on whatever one u use the fish well get use to it eventually and adapt to the way u have the light on

Yes. Fish will adapt, that is true. They do NOT need the light turned on at all. The light is for you, not them. Light rarely penetrates the water in nature as brightly as it does in a fish tank. When the light is on the fish are living in a spotlight!
