Hey Koji, would you mind posting a pic of them with the pink light off? I'm wondering if they are similar in coloration to mine under just regular white flourescent lighting. If so then I'm gonna get myself one of those pink bulbs because I want my silver to look that awesome!
And yes a little more info on the bulb if it's not too much trouble. :)

Basically these young silvers are having reddish finnages. Even without that tube they're still showing the redness. It's only more impressive to look at with the pinkish tube on.:D

wow could you give me a little more info on lighting like brand ,watts colour spectrum ect ?

The tube I'm using is called TFC. I dunno if your LFS carry these tube but they're just some standard pinkish light tube here. Alternatively, you can get other brands as long they're pinkish in colouration they will work for you.
 
thnks for sharing KOJI, nice young sil aros anyway.

yea, im using a pink tube(for lighting) too, a greater effects do shows. ^_^
 
very beautiful. I tried to find some pinkish lights before, but couldn't find any...wish I knew what they sold around here.

I know arcadia and zoomed got their own pinkish tube which they name them differently. You can try checking with the LFS near you who carries these tubes;)

Usually using TFC alone will give you a very artifical effect. Place another white tube infront of the TFC and you will see a more balance and wholesome look on fishes.

I'm using one pinkish light tube and one white light tube. It's the combination that give me the natural look.:)

What exactly is a tube? Can you link us up on say eBay or any other fish supplier online? I'm interested in achieving the same effect too! In case you have any advice, I have two light fixtures side by side on a 4 foot tank. Now, I know I need one pink and one white "tube"... I just don't know what that means. BTW, great pix!
