hi guys so i know betta's like 78-80 degree water i was just wondering how you heat a 1g desktop tank? i had him in a 5.5g tank till i broke it during cleaning (**** dog) right now i have him in my 30g with my catfish but hes not really liking it because of the high current but i dont want to drop him in a 1g tank that cant b heated up to his preferred temp any ideas???

Large Tupperware container or bucket. Make sure it's free from soaps/detergents and you can cover it so he can't jump out.

It's better than a small tank, and you can get fair sized ones cheap

That's why I suggested the container. He will be happier and the water will stay cleaner in a bucket than a 1g even if it is just for a week. Easier to heat too.

Fill a bag with warm water and lower it into the tank.

It will act like a heater and heat the water up a bit.

That's not going to keep the heat very stable.

No it isn't, that's why I liked the idea you gave.

But if the op wants to use the 1G all I can do is give ideas
