They like night and day cycles and prefer subdued lighting or at least hiding places in an over lit tank.
They are not nocturnal fish so they wouldn't be comfortable in a constantly artificially darkened aquarium either.
A naturally lit room will provide sufficient light for them to be content.

∙ 15y agoMy guess would be that the alpha test, on the beta fish, would have been a pretty good indicator based the empirical results. Would you not agree? No, they don't need darkness. They enjoy light alot ,though and I recommend you keep them near an open space. But not too close because bettas tend to jump! Another way to prevent jumping is to keep the water level down 5-6 inches. They even like to have a light on them when it's getting dark! Don't, however, keep them under direct sun light because it would be too much.
