Weird lighting regime - bad for fish?

Post by peroz »

I have a tank full of mts and 5 DPs. How bad of an idea would it be if I turned on the lights in the middle of the night so the puffers could snack a little? The thing is, that mts come out when fishes go to bed and they miss eachother.

They need their sleep. I highly doubt a DP could bite a MTS's shell anyway, even larger species break their teeth on them.
