Do Goldfish Like Led Lights?
Aquarium light types include fluorescent, LED, or UV lighting. All of these are suitable for use with goldfish and work well as a permanent lighting system. You want a light that has more of an orange glow than one that has a bright white output as this is gentler on their eyes.

Is LED lighting OK for fish?

How Lighting Affects Fish. Fish are not as reliant on light as plants. In general, aquarium owners can use incandescent, fluorescent, or LED lights for fish but should be aware of the heat issues that incandescent lights cause.

Do goldfish like the light on or off?

If your tank is in a poorly lit area – or if you want to grow live plants, such as hornwort – then it would be a good idea to include a light in your aquarium. Remember to switch off your aquarium light at night, as this will replicate natural day/night cycles. Like humans, goldfish prefer to sleep in the dark.
