How to Make a Betta Fish More Colorful

Sometimes betta fish get dull and grey, there is a simple solution to brighten them up! This comes from experience- One weekend i left my betta fish in my room with no light, just the window open. When i came back he had turned grey, and looked almost see-through. I turned on a lamp that was right next to his tank, and within a few hours he gained his color back! I have noticed a direct correlation between the intensity of color, and the amount of light exposure.
