How many hours of light do Bettas like. I've have his tank light on the same timer of my planted tank and it's on for 12 hours. Is this too much for a betta to handle.There are no live plants in his tank so it doesn't really need to be on that much. What do you think?:)

Bettas sleep at night like humans do. So I think 12 hours is fine. I just have my tank where the sun acts as a light. That way you can't go wrong. He sleeps when the sun is down, and is awake when the sun is up. LOL.
