How long should the aquarium light be on?
Six to eight hours a day for most tanks, on a timer so it is consistent. Longer photoperiods mostly benefit algae, and fish need a proper dark period to rest.

Aquarium Lighting in Nepal
Lighting is what makes fish look the way they do in the shop, and it is the main lever on plant growth and algae. Miscava stocks LED bars, hoods and planted-tank fixtures.
- Match the plants: Low-light plants like anubias and java fern are happy under almost anything; carpeting plants are not.
- Use a timer: Six to eight consistent hours a day grows plants and starves algae better than longer, irregular lighting.
- Colour temperature: Around 6500K renders greens and fish colours most naturally to the eye.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fish Lighting
Do fish-only tanks need special lighting?
No — any light bright enough to view the tank is sufficient, and dimmer is often better for skittish species. Strong lighting is really a requirement of plants, not of fish.
