Should I turn off the light for my betta fish?
Betta fish typically need 8 to 12 hours of light, and 12 to 16 of darkness, so make turning off your tank light a pre-bedtime habit. If your Betta fish has too much light, it can become overly stimulated and stressed. So regular periods of darkness are just as important as providing light.
Is 82 degrees good for Betta?
The ideal Betta temp range is around 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit or 25-27 degrees Celsius. Betta fish can certainly survive outside these temperatures in the range of 72-82 degrees F, which does occur briefly in the wild rice paddies, but this can cause a wide variety of health problems if it’s for a prolonged period.

Can warm water kill a betta fish?
Your betta may become sick otherwise and suffer from compromised immunity in cooler water or bacteria-borne illness in warmer water. Once the water in your betta’s tank or bowl is regulated, keeping it at a consistent temperature is vital. Sudden temperature changes can shock your betta and kill it.
Do Bettas lose their color?
As they grow older, bettas naturally age and lose color. The lifespan of a well-cared-for betta is about five years, so if your fish has been with you for some time and has started losing color, it might be part of the natural aging process.
