Well I woke this morning went in ti look at the tanks to see if any thing was arye,and holly halibit the heater was unplug. The tank was down to 64° Ready Freddy was chipper as usual but Shrimpy was hideing. I plug the heater back in and now the waiting game.

So what is the best temp to keep a betta at the old heater would get too hot up to 86° that was a10watt the new is a deep blue pro 7.5watt.

I keep my inside tanks for my adult Bettas at about 75-76F. The spawning and fry tanks at 80F.

Outside the water is usually in the upper 90'sF to 100'sF and when it rains or I top them off with well water from the hose-It may drop to upper 70's-80'sF more or less.

A good range for healthy adults 76-80F, with that said, they generally will tolerate higher and lower temps and often you will have temp that vary at different levels and under things-Plus you can have gradual temp changes from day-night and with the lights on-off that are tolerated by a healthy Betta. The gradual temp changes are usually not problematic-its the sudden extreme changes that can sometimes stress and that can compromise the immune response.
