Fish Aquarium Care

Should I leave fish aquarium light & filter on all night?

I just filled my aquarium and put 3 gold fish in. Should I leave the light and filter on all night or is it ok to turn them off? Any other advice on care is appriciated. Thank you.

The filter is on 24/7, but the light is 10-12 hours a day (not night). If you don't have any live plants, then you should probably leave it on about 5 hours a day.
