Do you need to open the light 24 hours a day to raise silver arowana? What is the best light to use

It is not necessary to turn on the lights 24 hours a day to raise silver arowana. Because they have a normal schedule. Like human beings, they all rest at sunset. If they turn on the lights 24 hours a day, it may disturb their normal work and rest. Moreover, wild silver arowana live in the upper waters. Although they can receive enough sunshine during the day, they will also enter darkness at night, so they only need to turn on the lights during the day when they are raised artificially.

1. Do you need to turn on the lights 24 hours a day when raising silver arowana

When raising silver arowana, you don't need to turn on the lights 24 hours a day. Because they have their own work and rest time, they, like us human beings, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. If the breeder turns on the lights for them 24 hours a day, their schedules will be disordered. Moreover, their mental state is relatively concentrated when the lights are turned on. If they are turned on all the time, their mental state may be affected. In addition, although the silver arowana growing in the wild can receive more sunlight during the day, it will rest normally at night. When reared in captivity, in order to imitate the wild environment, it is best to turn on the lights only during the day.

2. What kind of lamp is the best for silver arowana

Silver arowana can use more kinds of lamps, and breeders can choose to use blue and white LED lamps, which are relatively low in price and not easy to damage, so they are more suitable for silver arowana.

You can also choose a light yellow tube lamp, which can simulate natural light, but pay attention to the light not too strong, otherwise it will affect their normal life. And the color of the light should not be too bright, otherwise it may hurt their eyes.

Silver Arowana is recommended to receive natural light if conditions permit. Because natural light will not only increase their body color, but also have the effect of sterilization and disinfection.
