Tank Temperature Question

[vlnr2]

Same here, thanks cajunamy! And everybody else who helped me out with this stuff, for that matter! I'm new to taking care of bettas, so anything would be helpful...

Hopefully I can get him a new tank--bigger tank!--soon. Just have to pay dues for everything first :\

haha, I know what you mean about that. I've been putting my tank together one paycheck at a time :D 2 weeks until I'm ready for a fish! Good luck :)

78-82F is the ideal range, I've always heard. Mine sit at 80, but sometimes it goes a little above or below. Anything above 85 is too hot, and below 75 is too cold. :)
Definitely check out second hand when looking for a bigger tank. You will save heaps! :)

Yeah usually the higher temperatures, are recommended for like...ich. Getting rid of it (learned THAT on here :) ) but that's supposed to be temporary until the treatment is done!
