    Betta’s do need a heater , they are Tropical Fish therfore needing a heater i don’t know where you got the idea they don’t?

    well
    it is said i is fine with a fixed warm temp. and my room is warm and temperatures dont change constantly but you can use a heater it is really your choice i had 2 bettas last year and they are pefectly fine

    You room will never been the same temp although you may think it is but it isnt also how long did you betta’s live for? I’ve been keeping betta’s for a while now and lets just say without heaters their lifeless fish and tend not to swim alot and have shortened live’s

    well my bettas are 2 years old each one with its own 10 gallon i will post a video soon all you need is a filter but i some thimes use a heater but i dont always keep it in

    thats not true lol when i was 8 i had a betta and it swam around perfectly fine but i do prefer a heater with my bettas iuse the mini hydor heaters now.

  • alex2mitch said:

    Thats is true and a stated fact, Betta’s come from Thailand and in Thailand Their waters Are TROPICAL. Betta’s are Known to survive in Coldwater but have a disadvantage compared to ones which live in tropical i.e. they have shortened lifes. You’ll also find they wont eat very often. When you were 8 id assume you knew very little about Betta’s they are not some Fish you just stick in a tank. They require different needs compared to most fish.

    this is also true lol but now i have a wide variety of knowledge in the world of fish jk no i kno more though now then i did alot more and i would kno im thai lol

  • alex2mitch said:

    Rite ok. Even if you are Thai you still wouldnt know everything about the “Betta” You would find them in swallow waters and in Thailand you would think no more of it than a fish being in the sea. IF you have a wide Variety of knowledge then you would know that betta’s require a min of 2Gallons of water to swim around in. Seeing your videos you’ve shown you don’t know that as you keep a female in by what it looks like a Jar…

    if u knew more about bettas then you would kno tht that is a regular male betta and i was saying that i was kidding about have a wide variety of knowledge on betta’s i kno they do live in shallow waters in thailand i dont even live there i was just stating something ok…and it is not a jar it is the same height and about the same width as my 2-3 gallon hex tank.

  • sajeevan1 said:
