Hi All, I'm completely new to owning fish. I got a betta about 6 weeks ago and everything is going great. My betta is in a 3.5 gallon tank with low-flow under-gravel filter, LED lights and plants.
I kept reading that I needed a heater. So I got one. I turned it on yesterday for the first time and I think I almost killed my fish. He was just laying there after several hours of having the heater on. I unplugged it and he was fine this morning. I guess I need a thermometer? Shouldn't the mini heater self regulate temperature?
Thanks in advance for any help!
