However, while blue or green light is desirable it is not essential.

Mollies do not require light directly. ... However, planted aquariums need more light, anywhere from 1.5 to 5 watts per gallon, depending on what kind of plants you wish to keep. As tropical fish, you should give them a photoperiod -- the amount of time the lights are on per day -- of 8 to 12 hours.

The oddest behavior of A. salina is that they swim up-side down as compared to the majority of aquatic animals. This is a result of positive phototaxis, which means the brine shrimp is attracted to the light, and in nature it is found with its appendages pointed upward, because the sun is the natural light source.

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein in the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria that exhibits green fluorescence when exposed to light. ... Using DNA recombinant technology, scientists combine the Gfp gene to a another gene that produces a protein that they want to study, and then they insert the complex into a cell.

They can be fin nippers, so they shouldn't bother the neons, lamp eyes and the shrimp, which don't have long fins or in the case of the shrimps, any fins. As long as the guppies don't have giant tails (like some variations), it should be okay.

Beyond concerns about algae/bacterial blooms, the LED's won't hurt your fish as the lights will only be on 8-10 hours a day and the spectrum isn't something toxic like the UV you'd find in a clarifier.

In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, researchers concluded that blue and white LED lighting is the most harmful to wildlife, particularly animals such as sea turtles and insects, while green, amber and yellow are more favorable.

Yea some fish are going to be more bothered by light then others, some are even nocturnal. The least stressful thing for a fish though in my own opinion would be consistent lighting, fluctuating and/or moving light seems to be the least like the steady sun would be, and I would imagine would give them the most stress.
