Betta Fish Heaters
Betta fish are tropical fish that benefit from a heater maintaining a consistent water temperature in their environment. As Bettas are generally kept in smaller aquariums under 10 gallons, a lower wattage heater should be chosen to prevent overheating of the aquarium. There are several submersible heaters available for small aquariums, including adjustable heaters and compact, flat heaters that are easy to hide behind décor and don't take up a lot of space in the aquarium. A thermometer should be visible in your Betta's aquarium to ensure the water is maintaining the correct temperature or if heater settings need to be adjusted.
FAQs About Betta Fish Heaters
MAs Bettas do need water temperature between 72-82F, a heater is ideal for the best care for your Betta, especially when kept in homes that are kept on the cooler side.
Although bettas can live in small aquariums, an ideal habitat should be large enough for a filter and heater as well as ample room for décor and swimming area.

I think my betta fish went through cold shock and now may have a swim bladder issue. I bought a heater and changed the water. How can I further treat him? He has been eating on and off. He lays sideways at the top of the tank, and I think the bulge is possibly his swim bladder, as seen in the picture, and rapidly floats to the top when swimming. What can I do?
How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
My betta fish is no longer eating and is lethargic and dull in color. He lives in a 10gal tank which is both heated (80 degrees) and filtered. He isn't interested in me or any food I try to offer him, and it's been like this for a few days, with the no eating issue going on for about a week. I have tested the water and there are no issues with it, and a water change was completed shortly before he started acting funny. I've only had him for a year or so, but I bought him as an adult.
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
My male Betta fish isn’t moving
Hi; I have a betta I purchased about 3-4 months ago. He started to get fin rot, so i purchased Bettafix and did a 100% water change. However since yesterday (first day with bettafix) he is lethargic; all day today he was at the top (by the heater which keeps his tank at 78 F) but now hes at the bottom. Looking almost lifeless. Is there any way I can save him?
i need help treating my betta fish for swim bladder
How can I play with my betta fish?
My male betta fish has been in its 3 gallon tank for close to a month, today it was at bottom of the tank and is very slow. There is white fuzz behind its fins and at end of tail. Tail looks split too. There is a snail in the tanks as well and a small live plant. The temperature is around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. There are also rocks in the tank, a filter, moss ball, and air being pumped into the tank. I feed it betta flakes. We also put cucumbers in the tank for the snail at times. Please help.
Hi, I have a Betta fish and it is very low on energy level these days and it is losing his color.
What id the nest bottom feeder for my betta fish -
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
