Hi all, I'm new here, and I'd like to start things off with my most ridiculous problem...
I have had my tank for about a year and a half now and it has gone very well for me so far... I have a cobalt discus which is my pride and joy, i also have live plants. the weird thing is, ever since i set up my tank, i have never turned off my light, even at night. my fish seem to be doing fine.
In the interest of gaining the optimal photo period, i am thinking of buying a light timer. My problem is, if i try to turn off my light at night (even for a short time) all my fish go completely berserk! they loose all their color and scatter around my tank like chickens with their heads cut off...
Have they adapted to eternal sunshine perhaps? What should I do? Someone at the fish store said that is normal... I don't really believe him because they really look stressed... Please help.
