Zebra Danio Glofish are beautiful in a daylight tank as well, not just for a black light tank! They have the colors of saltwater fish!
I just set up a top fin 20 gallon starter kit, in which I have some tetras and guppies. However I have noticed that the 18" florescent light bulb that it came with seems to be heating the water very quickly and I am concerned, also the tank at the fish store that I got my cardinal tetras from had a bulb that made the colors of the fish really bright almost like a black light effect. Is there a different type of bulb that I might be able to use that would help the temperature problem and/or make the colors of the aquarium brighter?
I've seen blacklights used in some Fish stores but usually only in glofish tanks so that buyers would be more anxious to get a brightly glowing fish. Which is a heated debate among many aquarists. Some sellers claim their glofish (which are actually zebrafish) are genetically mutated to glo, and some will even go as far as to say that the mutation is natural and bred by selection. Others state that their fish are simply injected with dyes and many buyers have no problem with this while others think its the most cruel thing in the world. Either way this isn't a fish I consider supporting the development and sale of if that is the case.

With the growing popularity and availability of fish like and decorations like our own line, “glow-in-the-dark” and fluorescent aquariums are becoming more and more common. Most of these animals and decorations are brightly colored in any light but under special lighting, the colors will really glow. There are two main kinds of light that are used in these aquariums: “blacklights” and actinic lights. Knowing the difference between these two can play an important role in making your tank really stand out, as well as in keeping it healthy. For this blog, we will be focusing in general terms only for community aquariums. Aquarium with invertebrates and corals will have different needs since their light requirements are much more specific and extensive.Received 48 Inch LED High Efficiency Lighting System With Lunar LEDs create a shimmering light that simulates natural sun-light, and perfect mixture of 10,000k Day-Light and 460NM Lunar diodes provide excellent color. This video NOT artificially enhanced & either are the Glo-Fish..This is the "lunar" (blacklight basically) setting. Soooo much prettier than my old cheap ones. I'll post another video tomorrow during the day with the 10000 K white plant lights on. They're sleeping right now.

So far this is brightest glowing under black light corals - it is like Christmas decoration for my tank! Hope they will do well - grow and split so I will have those light everywhere around.Eventually, in the blacklight alone nano, the corals didn't do well and he aborted that tank, but the blacklight plus a couple of normal lights did fine. No detriment to fish.
