Will This setup work?

Heaters are not that expensive. I have a small one for my 2.5 tank and it cost only $8.00 at Petco.

Ha! If anyone says Betta aren't picky eaters, lucked out with theirs. I must have picked out almost all picky eaters (Spike is my exception).
At least I didn't go through too many foods before I found one they liked.

AngelicScars, Thanks for all your help. 1 more question though.. lol. In your tanks do u have rocks sand or what at the bottom. And i think i will leave my algae eater in the tank because they are buds and he is only about an inch long so i don't think he is taking up very much room

[AngelicScars]

I just use aquarium gravel.
The rule of thumb is usually one inch per gallon. Since Betta grow up to about 2.5 inches, they really need their own space in anything less then 5 gallons.
Glad to help! :)

They obviously don't know about bettas ;)

My bettas all eat Wardens pellets. I don't know about Merlin or Aqua yet though, since they aren't eating now and probably won't for a day or so.. But Fishy and Blue eat them fine, I'm hoping the other two will eat it too.

My only picky eater was Blue Bonnet. She wouldn't eat the bio gold at first but she does now.
