night viewing cresties in planted viv?

[fallenangelfyre]

so i have a crestie in a temp tank and am pretty much done building her larger planted viv. she mostly sleeps during the day. but at night is very active. though i can hear her jumping around, it's hard to actually see what she's up to. my question is do cresties not recognize red light wavelengths so you can view them at night with a red bulb without disturbing their day/night schedules as you can do with leos? also- i read that green wavelengths don't affect plants photosynthesis so you can use green lights at night w/o affecting plants day/night schedules.

so . . basically can i use a dim green light (maybe a low-output LED) to view my crestie during her most active period (night) w/o affecting either her or the plants day/night schedules?

how do people with cresties in planted vivs do night-time viewing? or do they generally just not have any lights at night? thanks!

You could put a moonlight on top of the cage. Just dont leave it on all night. You could set it on a timer so that when your lights turn off the moon light comes on for an hour or 2 and then shuts off.
