Do different colors of light affect the growth of goldfish?
No, but all fish require a full spectrum lamp and colored lamps should not be used in aquaria. Top • My question deals with the right amount of light and the correct quantity of fish. Ive reviewed extensively the answers and articles you provide about these issues on your wonderful website, however I find myself at odds. Ive come across at least two conflicting answers provided for each of the issues above!? Allow me to elaborate. Regarding light, one reply noted that 3-5 watts of power is adequate for every gallon of water. However, in another reply 7-10 watts was advised for every gallon. In the matter of the fish, I find myself even more baffled. I read in one reply that the general rule for the number of fish to be kept in a tank is one-inch-per-gallon. However, it was advised to a fellow enthusiast that a 75 gallon tank will support 18 inches of fish. Now that doesnt exactly follow the one-inch rule now does it? Perhaps these answers conflict due to the varying nature of each tank
