[Fish Heav3n]

SWEET!

I had a black arowana a while back . And I find this one is completely chilled out and not jumpy at all . So graceful . I heard that I can swap my standard t5 bulbs for uv b to bring out some colour etc . But I would like to ask what bulbs people recomend . I have two t5 standard household bulbs at the moment,

I wont bother to change the bulb to anything. Infact normal cool white FL will do the trick. G2 won't develop colour like gold or G1 red for they lack the colour pigment on their scales thus they always carry the strong horse shoes marking.

Would a UVB have any affect on my RTG Koji?

As long the fish develop and colour showing on the fish. UVB can help in tanning. But I only use the normal FL at home and my fish are coloured up nicely as well. Much much much cheaper than investing in those UVB tube.

Colour on the fish are genetic, lights only help that much only.
