> yea then do like 5-8 hours. If its gonna be a crazy planted tank do 10 . But usually if you dont do alot of plants and just fish the light should be on 5-8 . Anything more you can get ALOT of algae issues… Cloudy water,green gravel,green water,glass algae,high nitrates …blah blah

I bought 3 small ones at petsmart just to see how they do. I would like to get more, but the one goldfish already seems to be trying to eat the plants. I convinced the wife to get a 20 gallon for the 2 goldfish so hopefully they will have their own home again by the end of the week.
