Lemon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 so i have a planted 3g cylinder with a preset heater that i want to get a betta for but it heats to 82 degrees and i don't want to get a new heater is this fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 it seems risky to me. The betta fish like there water at 79-80F. 82F might be pushing it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Bettas do fine at 82°F. I’ve kept them at temps like that with no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nataku Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Like Daniel, I've kept bettas at 82 without issue. I kept them quite commonly at 80+ temps, as I found their fins healed faster at higher temps. And bettas pretty much always come from LFS with torn fins/fin rot.
