Fish + black light = bad?

Asked by funadvice about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

I was considering the possibility of lighting a fish tank with a black light, but was wondering if the UV rays would hurt the fishies. Would it be safe or is it not a good idea?

I think it is safe, it wouldn't hurt the fishies happy
However it is meant for preventing masses of algae..it is meant for a heavily planted tank. I don't see it doing wrong though.

I've heard that the fish may go blind if you use a black light. Is there any truth to this?
