Under natural conditions, the original habitat of ornamental fish is exposed to strong sunlight, which we usually call direct light. When direct light enters the water, it allows aquatic plants to carry out photosynthesis, producing oxygen and increasing the dissolved oxygen in the water. Direct light is very important for the ecosystem, helping plants grow, plants produce oxygen to feed organisms, and organisms excrete waste, which is broken down by bacteria. Bacteria convert it to feed plants. When we keep fish, we like to put the fish tank in a place where people can see it, or a convenient place for us to take care of. If it's placed in a bedroom with a weak scattered light environment, it's not very good. So many fish friends choose to use a fish tank lamp.

What specific considerations are there when choosing a fish tank lamp? In fact, there are some. Different types of fish tanks require different types of fish tank lamps. Let's list several types of fish tanks suitable for use.

Native tank - Spotlight

Regarding native tanks, I would definitely recommend using spotlights. As the name suggests, the light intensity of spotlights is relatively strong, with warm white and cool white colors. If your fish tank is a South American native tank, you can choose to use warm white. The water quality of South American native tanks is generally yellowish, which requires the use of angelica leaves or sunken wood to adjust the color. However, if the water quality in your local area is already close to the water quality that organisms adapt to, then further water adjustment and color adjustment will not be good for ornamental fish. We can use warm-colored spotlights, and the light emitted by the spotlights can give the clear and transparent water a yellow layer, simulating yellow water, so we don't need to use angelica leaves or sunken wood.

However, if you are using Chinese native tanks, it is recommended to use white. Our Chinese water is relatively transparent compared to the water of South American tanks. Chinese native fish live in transparent water, and only in transparent water can they show their native beauty to the greatest extent. In addition, cool white lights can clearly see the algae in the fish tank, which is also helpful for algae growth. Under the reflection of algae, native fish will look more beautiful.

Pond tank - Aquatic plant lamp

As everyone knows, pond tanks are generally used to cultivate aquatic plants. As we have already mentioned above, light plays a great role in the growth of plants. If there is no light, even the most famous shade-loving plants like net-veined grass will not survive without light. The aquatic plant lamp can effectively help aquatic plants grow. However, this is only used when there is no direct light. If there is direct light, I prefer to let aquatic plants bask in direct light, because aquatic plant lamps are only a tool to simulate the light source in the native environment, and cannot completely replace direct sunlight.

Bare tank situation

The light for bare tanks doesn't really have much choice, this mainly depends on personal preference and tendency. You can choose an aquatic plant lamp, you can choose a super white lamp, or you can choose a spotlight. This is unrestricted. However, I suggest choosing a standard ornamental fish enhancement lamp, other lamps are too complicated and not very compatible with bare tanks.

If you use a bare tank to raise goldfish, then you can choose to use an aquatic plant lamp or a white spotlight, which can cultivate algae.

Some fish friends may ask, how to choose a marine tank? In fact, marine tanks and freshwater tanks really cannot be compared. Marine tanks mainly choose blue light sources, which can maximize the enhancement of marine fish. However, it is not good for the eyes. You can choose an aquatic plant lamp, which is helpful for the growth of plants and algae.

Finally, let's talk about a few things: pneumonia suddenly occurs, try to go out less. When you go out for a play, it's best to choose places with fewer people, and remember to wear a mask. Don't eat some wild animals.
