I have a feeling that's the aqaurius/hawkeye one.
It should be fine, just grab a heater (I'd suggest the mini ELITE 25 W since it's adjustable).

Yes, I think it is the Hawkeye one. I agree, the heater is the best investment you can make to have a betta! Just don't get one TOO powerful. the one suggested is a good one. I have the tetra one (the rinky dink cheap one from walmart) It didn't overcook him in the 1.5 and it works well in the 10 gallon since it's rated for 2-10 I do believe. It is already adjusted to 78 and keeps coming off and on when the tank needs warmed. Just pick one you feel comfortable with and I'd invest in a thermometer for the tank too to keep an eye on the temp. Also a test kit if you don't already have one to keep an eye on the water parameters.
Have to agree with Acrim- an adjustable 25 watt is preferable.. it's not unusual to have problems with presets getting to the right temperature if you don't keep your house pretty warm.
The 3 gallon is just fine for him Don't forget weekly water changes with water conditioner to keep him healthy and the tank clean.

Even if it doesn't you can just kind of float it in there! That's what I did when Cobalt was in his quarantine bowl!
