Aquarium fish tend to do better with a night/day cycle. Not sure if eating fish used in AP do better with the same cycle. Mine get light of a day but the water is deep and shaded if they want to stay in the dark.

Interesting! I'll have to try adding a light. Do you know what the deficits are from not having a light cycle? My fish are just goldfish, so they are not for eating.

I have a infrared security camera looking right at my fish tank that is on 24/7. I just read tilapia can see in that spectrum. I guess I'd better turn it off at night.

Interesting... but if they can see any heat; wouldn't technically, anything above absolute zero be visible light to them?
