I had this posted on another fish forum, but I cannot access that site today for some reason. So, I am coming here in hopes of getting some help.
I have a new 3 gallon tank and I want to know what is the best heater?
I would like it to be adjustable if possible, as I don't think I would trust one that you can't change.
Also, what kind of thermometer is best? (Any?)
Here are a few pics:
The new setup for Opalescent, my new Betta.
My DIY lid. -> The pet store I went to had this large "Critter Tote" but the lid was missing. They gave me 50% off so I took it!
The lid here is made from a storage bin lid. The center blue part is from a tiny one-gallon I had Opalescent in for the first few days. I kept this part for the LED lights and feeder door. Looks a little funny with my colorful tape, but it works!
A couple of pics of Opalescent on his first day with me.
I believe he is a Double Tail even though he was labeled as half-moon.
I do not know why he has that "bite" out of his back. Best I can figure it is an old injury, as he does not look deformed otherwise. It is fully covered in scales, so it is not an open wound.
-----------------------------
Anyway, please help me find a suitable heater!
I am NOT planning to use a filter at this time. I had one in the past and never could get it to work for me. I am fine with doing regular water changes!
I also have some duckweed on the way to help with the tank health. I know it's messy, but I like it! I had it in the past before.
Thanks so much!
