How Much Light Should My Fish Get? - Brooklyn Aquarium Society

At the May Meeting of BAS, as I was purchasing algae cure, I had some discussion at the table about how much light Tropical fish need. I mentioned that mine get 10-12 hours a day, as that is what wild ones get in the tropics. A wee known member disagreed with me and maintained that 5 is enough. It is certainly not. Virtually every reference online agrees with me. The lowest I could find was at least 8 hours. This is a vital piece of information, especially for beginning aquarists.
