Lighting..

[Fishead]

What color light do most have?

I got my tank with the hood, and it came with the stock light. Is there a better light to use that will bring out more color in my cichlids.. (like a blueish light??)

I have found that the bulbs that come in most light strips is a yellow hue. I very much prefer the 50/50 bulbs. I use Coralife 50/50. This bulb has 50% - 6,000° Kelvin natural daylight and 50% actinic 03 blue.
