Leave Light On?

[IHave2Goldfish]

I was kinda just wondering if a light on a fishtank helps them grow and prevents them from dieing?
My light on my tropical tank has not been working for some reason. I went to take out the lightbulb and a piece of metal fell oughta it???
Should I send the piece back?

Hi Ihave2goldfish

If your light is new enough, and your lfs will exchange it, by all means do. This isn't just for the good of the fish, it's because it's the right thing to do. If you spend good money for something, well you should expect it to stay in one piece.

Fish do benefit from a regular day and night cycle, just like people do.
