Our LFS has a blacklight runnig consantley on one of their tanks but you can never see the fish that are in it I will have to ask next time I am in there and let you know

I know that actinic blue lights causes reef corals and some fish to glow nicely. I have seen them used in several freshwater aquariums and they look really nice and bring out some great colors in fish. Perhaps that is the way to go to be on the safe side since they are designed for aquariums, but realize that they are a bit more expensive than a normal flourescent aquarium bulb. You will have to do some research though to decide what size and wattage is best for your aquarium. Good luck.

Atnic lights are good. They can make things "glow" and they're not anywhere near as harmful as a blacklight.

yeah actinics are much better choice if you want a similar, but IMO, better effect
