fish tank light

Post by Squirrel »

My roommate has a fish tank in the living room. All the lights go off at night except for the fish tank light. I don't think it's good for it to be on 24/7 because I know it messes with fish's circadian rhythms. They won't ever have a set time to sleep. I know this causes stress in fish- it just can't be good. The only problem is that my roommate recently lost a close family member, and the fish tank is a kind of remembrance thing. She doesn't want anyone to touch the fish tank, which is fine- it's her tank, not mine. I mentioned that she might want to turn the light off at night, and she said that her family left the fish tank light on all the time, and they were fine. I dunno, guys..... Am I just overreacting? I know a lot about keeping fish healthy and this just really bugs me. Should I just let it go? What would you do?
