Best way to see your fish at night?!?

What is the best way to see my fish at night?!? I thought about maybe using a LED flashlight to see them at night without disturbing. Anything better?!?

 

I think they cant see red. I thought that I read somewhere about people using a red flashlight so the fish dont get scared.

 

Most fish sleep at night, not sure what you're looking for.

The red light does make less of an impact on most things, even if they can see red it's still a softer light and may not startle some things. Otherwise you can look into moonlight LEDs.

 

Moonlights are the best. Put them on a timer opposite your other lights.

 

I debunked that who can't see red theory a long time ago with a laser pointer and a niger trigger. It chased a laser pointer better than a cat.

 

LOL - The things we can teach our kids these days.

 

Jwin had our six-line wrasse going in circles with the laser pointer yesterday! It was hilarious! The female clown was attacking it too.

We like to watch the serpent star and brittle star with a red flashlight at night. The red flashlight definitely doesn't phase them, so I guess the "red theory" works for starfish!

 

I have a coleman red LED flashlight that works well... my clowns ignore it, the chromis and angel avoid it at night tho.

Amphipods will hide from it eventually.

everything else ignores it.
