Lights Too Bright?

[Cris_L]

I've recently transferred my community into a larger tank that has better illumination than the previous one. It seems that some of the fish, in particular the ghost cats, find the tank now too bright...is this likely?

its more likely shock from when the lights come on. make sure the tank has 30 mins of light a tleast before the lights come on

I think truckasauras means make sure the room light is on for 30 minutes before you turn the tank lights on.

You could also put some plants in the tank. Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) is a nice plant that can float or be planted. It grows best when floating and the extra bits can be put in the gravel to grow into shrubs

I had the same problem just turn on the room lights like they said.
