between 8 to 12 hours a day. No more. Time of day is not important as long as the tank gets a full 12 hours or complete darkness.

Is it okay to put a lamp above your betta fish tank?

i would not in case it were to fall over or if the tank would get tooo hot use a fish light 4 watts per gallon and leave it on for eight to four hours a day Bettas should have a heated tank (78F) and a close fitting cover to keep the air warm and damp so they can breath it easily without damage to their 'labyrinth'. A modern low wattage lamp should not provide too much heat. A light is good.

Should you always keep a filter on in a fish tank?

Yes you do need a filter in your fish tank ifyou don't the tank will build up dirt and the fish will die. Also when you get a fish tank you need to clean it out then fill it with water then put the filter in and wait 24 hours. This helps to ensure that the tank is somewhat stable before adding fish.
