I decided to get a heater for my fish tank of my betta Bella. The water she's in now is about room temperature, so what is the best way to ease her into her new water temperature without hurting her?

I would just take a little plastic bag, use old tank water to fill it and get her in there (make sure there is room for air in the bag). Get the water up to the desired temperature, float the bag in the warmer water for about 10-20 mins, then set her free.

No. I don't recommend heaters because everyone has their own opinions on heaters. You should definitely find a heater that is recommended for your tank size... that much I can tell you. You can find adjustable heaters or preset heaters. I personally use a preset heater because of the temperature of my apt (the heater keeps it 5-10 degrees above room temperature).
