hi,
i have a 5 gallon tank that used to hold cherry shrimp. i have decided to get a betta fish, but i'm worried that my heater isn't strong enough. my house is usually VERY cold (60°f) and i'm currently using a 25 watt heater. considering that bettas are tropical and require temperatures almost 20 degrees warmer than my home, should i invest in a 50 watt heater? thanks all for any advice
