He's out of sunlight. I enjoy watching him with the light but have noticed that he does all of his swimming around the outside edge of the orb (4 gal Biorb) where the light doesn't shine. The light also heats his water a little to about 80 degrees. Just read Dr. Dope saying it is a golden rule of Bettas to not put a hood with light on a Betta. My Betta (Michael) has lots of plants and a fake coral to hide in. Would he be happier and healthier if I kept his light off? I think his water would cool to room temperature which is about 72-74 degrees. You can't put a heater in this tank. (I don't keep the light on all of the time. Turn it off at night for about 8 hours.)
