Does the amount of light affect fish activety?
Like almost every other living thing on this planet, fish are affected by light. In the Seas, some rise in the dark to feed. When you turn on the tank light with neon tetras, it takes a few moments for them to bright up. Humans battle Circadian jet lag. Constant light or darkness in prison is considered a violation of basic human rights. So why deny our lessers the same consideration? Major aquariums have a distinct day/night lighting program. Take the hint.

== == Most of these fish can live for 2-3 years in fish bowl. Normally, bettas live two to five years depending on how they are cared for. Male bettas that live alone in large individual tanks and get daily exercise have lived six years or longer in laboratories. Typically, males purchased from a pet store are over four months old, at a point when their finnage becomes fullest and most attractive. Due to their shorter finnage, females available in pet stores are often only three to six months old. Betta fish actually live for 4+ years, eight years is not uncommon, in a 2+ gallon tank. In petstores males and females are actually an average of two years old; a female's finnage is alway short. 2-3 years in a bowl but 6-7 in a tank. 8 years is not uncommon, though. You may find it that your beta lives longer with different plants, and tanks.
