Hello there!!!!!!
 Yes, different lights will make the difference in your fish behavior.
 I once had factory white lights in my tank canopy and my fish
 bahavior was very mellow and quiet..soon after I put flurecent
 blue light the fish came to life... plus the tank looks much more
 healthy. also the water looks more cristal clear... :wink:

The blue light is mimicking night-time, which some fish prefer, as they are more nocturnal.
