Blue 25W Incandescent Aquarium Bulb for Small Aquariums

Zoo Med Highlights Incandescent Aquarium Bulbs bring vibrant, lasting color to small aquarium setups. The blue 25W version casts a cool, atmospheric blue hue that creates a striking visual effect in small tanks - ideal for moonlight-style displays or adding a dramatic accent to your aquatic environment.
