More or less light?

AlexFishFriends · Jun 27, 2025

Hello, I picked this yellow/ orange spotted guy up at RAP and I’m struggling to figure out where to put it. It seems like the back of it that isn’t getting light is bleaching, but also the tips that are under direct light are? I’ve kept it on the floor or my tank where light is relatively low, and my lights in general are kinda low. Should I move it up? Any recommendations?

More light, way more than those mushrooms.
And Don't You Dare Forget About flow, lots and lots of flow.

More or less light?

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
