"The Kelvin scale describes the color of a light source when compared to the color a theoretical "blackbody" radiates when heated at the same temperature. Think of a piece of steel that changes color as it is heated, then measuring the color of the light being given off."
 
i give them color enhancing crisps, grinded up. fry like them and i like that they like them! theyll have better colors aas adults. :bday:
 
If you want sunlight for your apartment and have a window (naturally in the wrong place of course), you can use one of those flex tubes like they use to install the sunlights in houses to make a temp conduit to use a few hours a day.

(search for "velux" on homedepot.com for an idea of what I'm talking about... tubular skylight)
 
Sunlight will grow algae just like artificial light will grow algae. There is nothing wrong with natural light if the tank is set and managed to handle it. It is not as easy IME, but it certainly can be done and is commonly done. Ever heard of Diana Walstad?
 
dark to black substrate and a dark to black background and plenty of cover for shy fishwillmake them more comfortable and then they will show their true colors.
