I am putting this tank together for my disabled 16 year old son who is visually impaired (bilateral optic nerve colobomas). I have been looking at glo lights however they have terrible reviews. Would the glo fish and decor glow under regular blue lights (like a reg tank light but on night setting)? I need things to be bright, gaudy, high contrast with lots of movement to help him see what is happening. In the past, he has enjoyed his 10 gallon male guppy tank but the guppies are going to retired to be my 40 breeder community tank so he can have his glotank with in view of his bed. I'm open to suggestions the only thing that is certain is it will be a 29 gallon tank (space is tight and the tank & stand have already been purchased). The fish he has shown interest in so far are the silver mollies, albino corydoras and the green glo tetras. Since he wants the corydoras, I'm thinking of using 20/40 blasting sand. I think the sand will be easier on them then the normal glofish type gravel. Thoughts on a corydora friendly substrate that will work in a glotank?
