This depends on the personality of your fish. Although, your fish may get stressed out if they are in total darkness all of the time. For a fact: bettas hate direct sunlight!! Never put your betta in direct sunlight, even for a short period of time. If you must, put them in the shade.

Yes, many people place lights above beta tanks and many people place betas among their community fish in planted tanks and to keep live plants in aquariums you need a good strong light above it.

Betta fish do not require a specific light over top their tank or bowl, and are fine with ambient room lighting. However, to see your fish's colors fully you will need a light.

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself. But if you add another Betta to your current Betta fish's tank, then they will start a fight because Betta Fish are Siamese fighting fish and if one Betta is in contact of another Betta, the possible reason would be a fight between them two.
