I decided for some reason to shine a light from behing my cichlid tank all the fish's silhouettes were projected all over my room! It looked so awesome!
My question is really just has anyone ever put a permenant light behing their tank in order to get this affect at night?
is it cruel shining a light through the glass like that for extended times?
 
ive done things similar with lighting, but that was only for some photography shoots, i wouldnt leave it like that permanently.
 
yeah, don't do that. fish are just like us and they need a determined day and night or else they get stresses
 
you will stress the fish badly, never shine a light into a tank after lights out


sometimes i shine a flashlight into the tank at night to see how my plecos doing, doesnt startle the other fish (cuz they are sleeping!!)

cant see why that would be an issue.
 
use a red light if you really need to check something out, it nowhere near as bright as a white light so less intrusive for the fish, but still bright enough to see.
