Betta Lighting?

[corygirl]

do bettas need a day and night or do you just leave their light on all the time?

Mainly it is preference. However it is nice to give them a day time and a night time. You could turn their light on when you get up and turn it off before you go to sleep. Depending what you have in your tank, it's nice to give your fish about 6-8 hours of light a day. Natural sunlight, that lights up any room, will be fine too. You don't need to buy special lighting always.

okay i was just wondering cause i know someone who keeps their betta in their bathroom and leaves the light on all the time for a nightlight.

I have my betta light on during night and off in the day. They have lots of plants so they can also hide from the lights

if you have a light on all the time, you will probably have more trouble with algae in the tank.
