Tank is 80 degrees while running lights

[outdoorzgirl]

During the daytime when I turn my lights on in the tank , my temperture raises to about 80 degrees in my 10 gallon where I house my male betta. The lights alone are causing it to hit 80 degrees. What can I do??? It seems that 80 degrees would be an uncomfortable temperture for a betta. Is that too high? What can I do to keep it below 80 degrees?

Actually that's fine. My other Betta friend's tell me betta's do best in 74-80 degrees. So it should be okay. My betta's are at lower temps only because they are in smaller tanks that I can't put heater's in..Hope this helps

Thank you > I was afraid I might be cooking him by accident

You are welcome glad I could help.. I would have had a panic attack too if it was not for all the forty thousand question's I asked friend's ( they were really wishing they never got me into betta's I'm sure )
