Hi
I am new to the forum. Yesterday I bought two male bettas. I put each one in a 1 gallon bowl. Overnight, it gets very cold in my house and I am concerned about my fish's well-being. I don't have a thermometer but when I checked on them this morning, their water was SO cold. I turned the heat up in the house and put a space heater on in the room and they are fine and swimming around.
But... the house gets freezing every night. They are in bowls and I can't afford to buy small tanks and/or small heaters. (do they even make small heaters that would attach to a 1 gal bowl???)
any advice would be great. I just dont want to freeze my fish to death.
