The biggest amphipod I ahve seen in my tank was like 5-6 cm long it was preying on the smaller ones! My tank is just crawling with them at night it looks like the sand and rocks are alive!

Hm. Looks like I need some night lights. I couldn't believe how many I saw this morning! It waas freaky!

What's the best kind of light to use for night viewing? I know red lights are great for reptiles who don't seem to notice it.... would it be the same for fish?

I use a plain old flashlight with a piece of red gel on the front. As long as it is not too bright not much seems to notice. So yes I guess red light is the way to go for exploring at night.
