Hi, I was just wondering what type of light and lighting schedule I would need to breed both cardinal fish and clownfish. Do I need a certain quality of light for the parents or babies or will I be able to get away with a basic LED with no dimming/light schedule. Thanks for any input!
 
Basic lighting should work! You just have to keep the lighting schedule consistent (like on a timer), so that you can easily manipulate the light to mimic seasons or other environmental cues.

  • None. I prefer to operate everything manually
