The fish do not need light to survive. They only need very little to see their food. In a fish only tank, light is for you to see them, so chose just the right amount and color that suit your taste. Fish cannot see in red light, so you may also consider a RED spy light(so that you can spy what kind of fun they have at night) instead of the blue or white moonlight.
