Do betta's like small tanks and if so, why?

[Mozart]

Where are all these 1g, 1.5g, 2.5g, 3g, 3.5g, 4g, 4.5g, tanks? My local petsmart had a 2g and 5g tank only (plus the 10g and over sizes).

My guy just moved into a 2g tank and is loving it. I'm worried about temperature though. Anyone know a good heater (brand) for a 2 gallon tank?

Im not sure some stores may carry a mini heater for 2 gallons. try and find one thats got a safety feature on it. so temps wont go too high. just as a good precaution.

in reguards to wheres all the tanks.... i found a HUGE selection at petsmart.... though the tanks i got were from walmart....... good luck in finding a heater :)

The Hydor mini heaters can be found at Petsmart (my Petsmart had them) and Walmart has the Tetra whisper heaters. Thats where I got mine.

She didn't want him back. She said he wasn't made of gold, could easily be replaced and she wasn't going to fool with him by doing regular water changes. He was the best thing to happen to me because that was how I got addicted. :) He was the sweetest little fish and had a wonderful personality. I still miss him.

Addicted? HA, you have no idea! :P

dmhalfmoon, how many do you have? I know you breed so it has to be quite a few. :)

I personally like the marineland stealth heaters. They're a little pricey but won't break and poison your water (as i've heard some glass varieties can do.) i've used the 50 watt on my 1 gal, a 10 gal, and a 3 gal and it was great with all of them. i also have a 25 watt in my 3 gal and it works well. you can set the temp exactly and it shuts on and off on its own. they also have a warranty so if it breaks, send it back. although, i recently sent mine back and haven't heard anything yet.. in 6 weeks...

yerakina!! i love it. she must be a pretty little girl, DQ. :)

Thank you! She IS pretty. I thought she was white when I first got her but she turned pink with maroon on her fins. I have a stealth visitherm in my 4 gallon. Its been working fine. :)
