What you guys think about a VATF in a white background tank? Would the VATF freak out? Im using natural sunlight.
VATF and white background
- Thread starter Tig Phish
- Start date
It should be fine, but it will lose its dark, rich coloration that most people tend to enjoy in them. The tail will lose almost all if its red and yellow, the flanks will go silvery, almost mirrored, and the adipose fin will lighten to either a grey or cobalt blue, with the black receding to just the tip.
I can't rem where but I rem reading a while back how white backgrounds aren't good when it comes to sight for some fish
White backgrounds amplify the light and make it brighter, which can stress them and in severe cases cause blindness. I was answering under the assumption that one would reduce the overall lighting in their tank to mitigate any potential problems.
