| I have mine on about the same length of time in the tank with my albino's.......
Though I do know some who do not have the light on at all, and there are other's who have it on for about 4-6 hours....
let's see what others think... | |

| light doesnt really stress them out. They are nocternal, so they will hide when the lights are one, when the lights are out they come out. Most bristlenose live in a community tank which is lit for at least some time. | |

| Mine are out and about all the time even when the light is on... I think all BN's are different to be honest... Thats what makes them so cool... They all have their own personality  | |
