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.

To create a thriving environment for a bamboo plant in an aquarium, you should ensure the plant receives enough light, preferably natural sunlight or a full-spectrum aquarium light. Use a nutrient-rich substrate and provide regular water changes to maintain water quality. Avoid overcrowding the aquarium and monitor the plant for any signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies.

How do you take care of a betta in a ten gallon tank?

you hve made a good choice already by buying a decent-sized tank for the betta. as for care, you will need gravel, an aquarium light, and most importantly a small powerfilter or other type of adequate filter. bettas are very hardy, but you still need to do water changes every few weeks and feed a specialized betta food. in a ten gallon tank, you have room for a couple tankmates for your betta. i would suggest a small school of rasboras or a couple small loaches. both of these species will most likely not provoke your betta and are native to the same areas as it.
