I dont think I would do that... :?

 

well i would like to know what would happen??

 

wwwwweeellll............ to say the least, if ya like your fish dont do it.

 

why not just change your background picture?
Move your deco stuff around... or buy new deco stuff, maybe a new plant. But food coloring is not made for fish.. sorry

 

come on i have all the background and such but i would like the water to look diff

 

errrr i wouldnt sudgest it. the fish pull water in and it goes into the system and it is bad for them

 

My guess is it would damage their gills. Just because something is safe for humans, it doesn't mean it's safe for fish.

ok but it looks koo becuz when i put in ick cure stuff it turns the water blue it looks so kool like a tint of that colour it looks pretty neat so i was wondering if i could do that wit like a different colour :y_the_best:

 

Hi jamin_rb,
If your intent is to change the colour of the water. you might wanna try to change the coulour of the lighting. This can be done by pasting sulophon paper to the light. Which might give you the same effect.

 

umm thanks but can u explain what that is too me lol

iam not realli geting it lol :lol:

 

cellophane -- is thin plastic which can come in a variety of colors. I am not sure where it is sold at.. you could try an art store. Make sure your light doesnt get to hot as this stuff can melt.

 

You'll have to make sure the cellophane doesn't touch the bulb or it might melt.

You can also buy blue bulbs that are made specifically for aquariums.

On my tanks I have the standard bulbs that came with my light fixtures and I got tired of them emitting a yellowish light. So I just took some aluminum foil, colored it blue with a sharpie marker and put it behind the bulb. It makes the tank have a very slight blue color, but mainly just cancels out that yellow.
