Canada - Junior Heater Question.

[rvijay07]

Several keep Bettas etc., in small tanks in Canada. It gets quite cold in winter in Canada. Still Junior Heaters around 7W for small tanks are hard to find in Canada. Why ?

Cus maybe petstores just don't carry them. I see some around here. If you really want a heater then just get a bigger tank, or keep your house warm. Or you could always move to Florida or somewere warm

i agree, get a 10 gallon tank and make a divider system for it

then you can have a heater and a real filter for your bettas

If a product sells well, stores will carry them. No product just means, no demand for them. This is not good.

Not an option for me at all. I already have other tanks. Presently, no more room for larger tanks. I thought that keeping a small tank would be easy as they seem to be more popular. Didn't expect all these problems.

I can't get hikari products around here. Nobody carries them, well at least what i need.
I guess a lot of ppl don't really use them cus they mostly have bigger tanks that need bigger heaters. In one petstore here they stoped selling them because nobody would buy them.

This is sad indeed. Hikari products are very good. My Betta likes and cherishes them. It is true, if there is no demand for a long time then eventually the product is removed from the store shelf.

I have a small LFS and I cannot get those small heaters. Although they are listed in some catalogues the are not CSA approved and therefore not sellable here. (or at least not the ones i've seen) Although temperature is not really that imprtant for Bettas, they will do Much better in the high 70's (F) One suggestion for my fellow canadians in the (cold ) East is to put your betta on top of the fridge for the winter. This will provide a fairly stable, and warmer temp.
