It is recommended to use blue and white lights to raise koi, because the wavelength of blue light of blue and white lights is in line with the maximum absorption peak of the total pigment spectrum of koi in the visible region. Simply put, white light illuminates and blue light promotes absorption. Therefore, the color of Koi carp growing in blue and white light will be particularly bright. Brightening lamp is mainly to increase the ornamental value of Koi, just like human use of beauty camera to take pictures, it does not have much effect on increasing their own body color.
Do you use blue and white lights or brightening lights to raise koi? What other lights can you use?

1. it is recommended to install blue and white lights in the fish tank

of Koi, because they have different functions. First of all, the blue and white lights can be turned on to achieve different color temperatures and wavelengths. Moreover, the wavelength of blue light is about 380-780 nm, which is consistent with the maximum absorption peak of the total pigment spectrum of Koi in the visible region. Simply put, white light is for lighting, and blue light is to promote the absorption of pigments, so usually blue and white light can help Koi brighten. But the main function of brightening lamps is to make the colored fish look more colorful, just like beautifying the color of fish, so they have little effect on hair color except for their daily ornamental value.

If the breeder breeds red and white koi, he can install a set of red lights, which can promote their production of red pigment and make the color of koi more bright.

2. What other lamps

can Koi use? 1. Incandescent lamp: If Koi is kept in a well-lit place, the breeder only needs to install an incandescent lamp to keep them illuminated. The specific wattage depends on the depth of the fish tank.

2. Metal halide lamp: The metal halide lamp is the lamp closest to the sun's rays. If the koi is indoors or in a place where the light is particularly bad, the metal halide lamp is needed. The lamp can replace the effect of sunlight on the koi and realize the effects of disinfection, bacteriostasis and color enhancement. However, the power of metal halide lamps is large, which is not suitable for household use.
