I dont know whats up with my Betta but at night when I turn off my bedroom lights he flares up and starts going crazy swimming around the tank and as soon as I turn the lights on he stops and goes back to swimming happily... is it possible he's affraid of the dark...? if so how do I fix this... he does have a light on the top of his tank... should I turn that off at night too?
Scared of the dark???

i would def turn his light off at night..it keeps his circadian rhythm in balance and his overall health..i wouldnt worry about how he acts when the lights go out..im sure its bc there is not gradual darkness...just a sudden one...what i like to do is to turn off my aquatic lights and still have all the lights in my room on...and an hour or so later when i go to bed i shut off my lights in my room so the fish are adjusting to gradual darkness
Oh how I love bettas. Any of the more highly evolved fish in general....they always exhibit such intriguing individual behaviors.
My new blue female betta is a riot. When I first bought her, I teased my gf that there was a new woman in my life. But then get this - when she came to meet the new fish, she got flared at! Seems my new blue girl wanted to start a cat fight.
