Cichlid Lighting

Hi, I have a 38 Gallon Cichlid Tank and i was wondering what kind of lighting should i get for my tank that would be good for the fish, and will bring out their colors.
thanks

You don't need anything special. A 'natural' labeled bulb is more neutral in color, and generally will show colors well.

But I can think of a dozen species off hand that are tan/brown in color from various parts of the world where it wouldn't matter what kind of lighting they had they aren't going to get any better looking.
