Hi! I'm new here, but have had Bettas in the past. I'm awaiting a new Betta from a Thailand breeder: I'm preparing his tank setup while I wait for his arrival. Since it's been a while since I had my last Betta (which I had to give up when I moved), I did some research to make sure I do...

I definitely know that bettas need to live in warm water, and from what I have read, 78 - 80 degrees seems to be optimal. However, my question is, that if I live in a very hot area, and the water is currently at 78 degrees, do I really need a heater? I don't want to cook my betta! Also, if a...

We got a male betta for my 8-year old daughter’s first ‘my own pet’ just over a week ago and I’ve become strangely betta obsessed. I've read perhaps too many forum posts and gotten myself confused. Thanks so much in advance for your comments and advice! ! Our specifics: --He's in a 5.5 gallon...

So I have this heater and I haven't seen the light on in awhile and I'm unsure if the water is warm as it feels about right (I just got paid and I'm going to snag a thermometer tomorrow but I need to figure out if I need a heater also? I was thinking maybe a new ornament or a bigger tank but Im...

Can I get one this small that is adjustable as recommended here in other threads? Right now Fish has a zoo med under gravel and it's working fine. I read love/hate relationships on the tetra 2-15 gal heater. I want to get another heater to either have on hand or use. Whatever I have extra I...

Hi there! I have two bettas and they live in a bowl and a tall vase without any kind of heater. I used to have another betta that lived for three years in a vase without a heater. My question is, do I absolutely need a heater? And if so, do I have to buy a tank for them that has one? What should...

Hey there all =) My betta Elrod (I did not name him for the record, he was my group's pet fish at summer camp and I brought him home afterwards) is currently in a 1/2gal container, and I've found what looks like a nice 10 gallon tank to upgrade him to that I'll hopefully be picking up this...

Hi So I have 2 bettas in 2 gallon plastic tanks. They both have thermometers that say it's above 75 degrees, and I changed the water about 4 days ago. (will change again tomorrow) I bought 2 heaters that can go under the gravel. they are a 2-5 gallon heater I want to put a heater in. but it's a...

Summer is winding down and Sparkle is going to need a heater very soon. I have read so many different reviews about what is the best type/brand/etc. I AM GOING NUTS :roll: Sparkle is in a 5 gallon glass tank with silk plants, Marina Floating Thermometer, FlowerBall, and glass Luster Gems as...

Hello! I just recently found this site a day or so ago, and I have been poring over the forums. I have learned so much already about these fish and I'm planning on getting one soon. :) I hope to get into aquarium work when I'm older so I figured taking a few baby steps in caring for fish and...

Flush with Christmas cash and a 20 gallon tank rescued from my parents attic, I am going to need a filter and a heater. I'm not coming to you totally clueless but with all the research I've done I can only get as far as a "top two" for each category. Any advice based off personal experience...

I inherited my betta, a red Veil tail named 'Count' (but lovingly called 'Fishy'), from a good friend at school. No one is quite sure whether I'm still fish-sitting for the summer or have assumed full custody. :-) I've recently moved him to a 10gal tank. My friend thinks he should have...

i know there may already be a thread about this, but i am new to the site and haven't quite figured out the navigation fully. i was just wondering what heaters you would recommend for a 10 gallon tank?
