I want some first hand experience with anyone that uses tanning lights for their asian arowanas. No I do not own any asians but I do have some blacks, silvers, and a lei that I want to try and enhance their color.

What kind of light fixture/light bulb are you using? What light would you suggest on getting?
What is your schedule for exposing your arowana's to these lights?
Also anyone using tanning lights for their arowanas happen to keep stingrays in the same tank? Any ill effects to the stingrays?

if you have black/silver/jard/lei/green/banjar/pima/nile , it will waste your electric bills only.
tanning is only for red & gold. thats it.

but if still want to do it, try arcadia/slyvania/hagen bulb with 10k K color temp
