For freshwater, you probably want full-spectrum 5000K to 6500K, closer to daylight (white), but particularly with red and blue.



You don't need to spend a lot of money on lighting in a freshwater tank unless you want to grow plants. So if you are not growing plants, just get a cheaper dual T8 tube hood, instead of a power-compact hood (those things are expensive to replace). T5 is great but more expensive than T8. Do NOT get a single-tube hood as those are too dim for anything.

... if you can't find the right bulb at the pet store.
