Was wondering what would be the best ideal light that I can get from a LFS for a black arowana to bring out its color the best? He is about 10"
 
The hagan powerglo or the coralife colormax are excellent for bringing out the colors of black aros. Problem is they are only available in old technology lighting.
 
OK let's simplify this.
A higher kelvin rated bulb will put off white/blue spectrums. A lower kelvin rated bulb will give off yellow/red spectrums. I prefer 10k bulbs as they are easily attainable without pet store prices. I refuse to pay $25 for a bulb unless it feeds my fish and cleans my tanks to!!!!!

T8 bulb? i kinda forgot how a 10k bulb looks like...are those the really blue lights/actinic? or like a daylight/cool color
