So what's the answer to this betta tank temperature problem? Don't get overstressed, it's as simple as buying a tank heater for your betta's aquarium. Is that simple or what! How many betta owners have had their fish die and wonder what the cause might have been. A few words at the pet store about tank temperature would have taken care of the problem.
Many aquariums and fish tanks come equipped with tank heaters or you can easily install one in the tank.
Your heater size will depend on the size of your betta tank.
The smallest size for a betta should be a 2 gallon tank, which would require about a 10 watt heater.
It is best to get one that is fully submersible and is safe even if run while dry. A heater this size can raise the water temperature by approximately 5 degrees and the cost is only around $13.
As you get into the larger tanks, such as a 5 gallon, a 40 to 50 watt heater would be required. Price on one such as this would be about $25.
