Question

I'm posting some notes and questions on this post about my agriscience fair project so myself and others can follow along and help me out a little bit. If I use the word 'lights', I mean LED's specifically

To start, what color lights affect a fish's eating motivation negatively? What color lights promote nocturnal activity?

Answer 1

Most lights you ever see used to attract fish are white led lights. However, some other colors might do better.

Answer 2

Oh, and green light

Answer 3

what about natural light?

Answer 4

that is because they are brighter, and they have more power in them.

Answer 5

I understand that green and white tend to attract fish more than any other colors, so I'm speculating about the affects of other colored lights.

Answer 6

light colors i agree with them all , O:

Answer 7

mmm. if by natural light you mean the color you find in common LED house lights, then I dont think it would have a posiitve effect

Answer 8

Have you done proper research, as part of the scientific method?

Answer 9

regular light doesn’t have that much power to them but they can when they are made the right way. The LED lights have more power in them because they are artificial lights.

Answer 10

u said lights to attract fish e.e right?

Answer 11

the brighter the light the more it attracts.

Answer 12

because more light means more heat.

Answer 13

heat has nothing to do with it

Answer 14

Its not necessarily the brightest light either

Answer 15

Let me explain. My research partner and I will each have a fish under a different color LED bulb to compare how their behaviors or eating habits may or may not be similar. I am not trying to attract fish. These subjects will be the same type of fish, same age, and will be living under this light, being fed the same food.

Answer 16

I see.

Answer 17

depends on what food your giving them. If a fish is hungry, it will eat, no matter the light.

Answer 18

Same tanks, same water type, same environment, same feeding times and tank cleaning times. Only difference is in color.

Answer 19

actually it does, the heat in the light is what attracts things that are cold blooded like fish 🐟. Fish are cold blooded and they live in the water so the need the heat from the light that is why they come out to the surface during night because the light s are way closer that daylight.

Answer 20

ohhh my bad my bad i got caught on the light thing

Answer 21

ok then how is the light hot when it is on for 10 minutes?

Answer 22

LED lights do not produce much heat at all.

Answer 23

I apologize, they get hot. But compared to an incandescent light bulb, they ar much cooler

Answer 24

Its usually after an hour or two, not ten minutes as well

Answer 25

I DON'T NEED INFORMATION ABOUT HEAT! THIS IS ABOUT FISH BEHAVIOR IN DIFFERENT LIGHTING!

Answer 26

It will not be that close to the subject

Answer 27

But it will be the only light source

Answer 28

she does not need anything about lighting

Answer 29

Red Light Stimulates Feeding Motivation in Fish but Does Not Improve Growth

Answer 30

I think I'll test with red and blue LED's, red tends to promote eating motivation but less growth, and blue often promotes nocturnal behavior and comfort

Answer 31

i hope you do well.

Answer 32

Thanks, I'll update soon as we have the subjects under lighting

Answer 33

Answer 35

Answer 36

Natural light
