Filter For Fish Bowl

[Rohland]

I may be getting more bettas in the future and was wondering if there heaters and filter for fish bowls..

I am going to be getting minimum 2 gal bowls or some big vases for more Bettas! My house is always really warm, but I will be getting a heater to be safe, however do I need a filter if I was doing water changes every week?

It doesn't get very cold in the winter time in BC, does it? Compared to here, anyway.

I'm sure you can find a heater for small aquariums and use it in your bowl, but I'm not sure if you can find any filters that could fit. If you change the water regularily, though, you wouldn't need a filter.

would a sponge filter or w/e they are called the thing attached to an air pump do?
I just dont know what to do about the heat.

I thought the coldest it got during the day was around -10. It does get colder at night, however my family isnt afraid of running the heat

I live in Fl, i have my AC on at 70º at all times, and my tank stays 76-80, at night in the mid 70's during the day upper 70's. I dont know about CA though lol.

I come from Windsor (which is really down South Ontario if you don't know) and the weather is very similar during the winter. Usually -10 or so.

Then I came to Ottawa and the regular tempurature is like -20, sometimes dipping down to -30 or so. It was a bit of a shock for me, lol.

My room is pretty cold because it's in the basement, but it seems that you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Im pretty sure I can find some old blankets too to wrap them in

I heard tinfoil acts as a good backup insulator in case anything happens.

A sponge filter would work fine.
