Is a light in an aquarium for betta fish a good enough heat source?
Cookiecrumblers
No it will not work. You can not control the heat of the water which needs to be around 78F. At night when the light is off the fish will be chilled. During the day when the light is on the surface of the water could be very hot and the bottom cold. Also the heat from the light globe will dry the air which will make it bad for the Betta to breathe. Heater/thermostats are a cheap item as is a thermometer, an air pump and a filter. They are all necessary items if you wish to keep tropical fish alive and healthy.

Do cold water fish need light?
Unless they are blind cave fish, which have no eyes, fish need light. You want a light om an aquarium so you can see the fish to best advantage. It does not need to be a special aquarium light, if a room is light enough for you to move around in, it is light enough for the fish, regardless of temperature. A weird thing may happen if the light comes from the side. Fish orientate themselves to light more than gravity. With strong side lighting they will swim tilted, sometimes almost completely on there sides.

What does it mean when a betta fish can move the top part and not the bottom?
Betta fish need to be kept in slightly warmer water, about 80 F. The water on top of the container is often warmer, especially if you have it close to a light source. It may be that the water is too cold.
