There is more than one type of UV lamp:
1.) The UV lamps used for sterilizing water create low levels of ozone. Not good to keep to close to your fish.
2.) The novelty UV lamps use low level exposure – it should be ok for most breeds.

Try actinic bulbs. I use them in my salt water tank to make the fish glow. UV is used off the side of marine tanks to sterilize the water as it will kill bacteria and parasites exposed to it.

all kinds of lighting is used on tanks. you just have to make sure the light isn't to hot as it will heat the water up and kill the fish.
