5 Stars Good little heater
Has kept my tank in the betta comfort zone even when the room is rather cool.

5 Stars small heaters
I bought two of these heaters for my betta tanks. At first I was afraid that they’d be too hot because they are recommended for 2-5 gallon tanks, and my betta tanks are 1 and 1.5 gallons respectively. However these work great. It gets very cold in the room where the fish are and the thermometer could barely register the temperature (my thermometers stop at 64F). After I put the heaters in, the smaller tank went up to 78F and the larger tank to 71F. I’m happy and, more importantly, the fish are happy.

5 Stars Hydor mini-heater-7.5 watts
This is an excellent heater, goes under the marbles of my 5 gallon hexagon tank, keeps tank at warm level of 77 degrees, my Betta and ghost shrimp are very happy and thriving in the tank, couldn’t be happier with this hetaer, it is perfect for any small tank to keep warm, as long as it is 5 gallons or less, maybe even work for a 7 or 8 gallon tank. You will not be disappointed if you get this heater for a small tank or bowl, highly recommended.

5 Stars Great bargain, works
Bought this for less than $10. Keeps 2.5 gallon tank at around 80 degrees, perfect for my betta.

5 Stars My Betta Fish Love This Heater
I have read so many reviews about this heater. You just do not know what to believe. This is my experience. My Betta fish, Max is 2 years old and lives in a 2 gallon bowl and he loves the heater. My Betta fish, Piper is 5 months old and she lives in a 1 1/2 gallon bowl and loves the heater. My Betta fish, Zach who is almost 2 years old lives in a 1 gallon bowl (I swear he prefers a 1 gallon bowl to a 2 gallon bowl…he has been in both and seems happier in the 1 gallon) loves the heater too!

If you are interested in buying a new pet, you’ll find yourself confronted with several options, and it may be difficult to decide which way to go. One of the most popular pets is the aquarium fish. At first glance, some people may not recognize the appeal of these fascinating creatures. In this article, I’ll list 5 reasons why fish make wonderful pets, and why they’re particularly ideal for people with certain lifestyles and situations.

1. Fish are low maintenance

When you have your fish tank prepared, and you’ve paid for all of the needed accessories, your fish will basically look after themselves. All you must do is give food to them often and look after the safety of their environment. These are essential tasks, and you will have to take them seriously, however they’re absolutely nothing compared to the problems associated with looking after many pets. You won’t have to worry about shedding, toilet routines, building destruction and all the other issues that lots of other creatures bring to the table.

2. Fish are relaxing pets.

Watching fish as they interact with their environment is like peeking into an alien world. It can be a hypnotic experience, and it’s a great way to relieve stress after a hard day’s work. An aquarium is really a tiny simulated ecosystem that you can observe at your leisure. Studying your fish as they exist and thrive in their watery world is an incredibly soothing process, and it’s one of the main reasons for owning these pets.

3. Fish are great pets for children.

Many individuals wrestle with the decision of whether or not to get a pet for their child. You may want your child to learn a respect for animals, however, you may feel that they aren’t prepared for cats or dogs. Fish are simple to care for, so children can manage many of the jobs themselves. The simple task of feeding fish can help your children discover the value of daily routine, and find an appreciation for nature.

4. Less allergies.

For some, allergic reactions to pet dander can be a enormous issue, and it can make owning any sort of mammal very difficult. For these people fish are a great choice for clear reasons. There are other animals that fit the bill, such as insects and reptiles, but fish are very definitely the most common pet in this category.

5. Believe it or not, you can really bond with your fish.

A lot of folks don’t realize the kind of strong attachment that can be formed with these beautiful pets. After weeks of watching your fish, they will grow to be a part of your life. Even though you can’t interact with them directly, you’ll start to think of them as your pals. They rely on you for food, while you will grow to count on them for the beauty and calmness they bring to your life. This is a different type of bond than you form with a dog or cat, but it is still quite powerful.

As you can see, fish are a superb pet for people with active lifestyles, and they are more fascinating to own than you would possibly anticipate. Many other pets bring complication and anxiety, while fish mostly produce simplicity and calm. That’s probably the biggest reason for their popularity.

4 Stars It does what it’s supposed to do!
I purchased this little heater for a five gallon glass tank which housed a single male betta. It worked very well in the winter, keeping the water temperature around the low to mid seventies in a house where the thermostat was set at 68 degrees. That’s pretty much what the product description said it should do, so I’m happy. It’s a simple, unobtrusive little heating pad that you can place either under or on top of the gravel in your aquarium. There are no other bells or whistles like temperature controls, and it probably won’t do much for a larger tank. For a small tank, however, it’s great.

1 Star Cold Heater
This product you would think does what it says but it doesn’t. It’s a heater yet the water (i have a 2 gallon bowl with a betta fish) is the same temperature (room temperature) that I had without this extra thing that uses electricity.

I would not bother with this item. It’s supposed to be good up to 10 gallons heating the water, yet I have a 2 gallon bowl that it can’t even seem to heat up like it should.

5 Stars Works great for Bettas
I bought this item for my betta Carlos who was too cold in my house in the winter here in Michigan. I put him in a 1 gallon jar and put the heater unter the gravel. His water temp before was room temp which is 70 daytime and 60 at night. This heater keeps him at between 75 and 82. He is much happier and active. I would highly recommend this heater as many bettas die in the winter from being in water that is too cold for them.

5 Stars perfect!
My African Dwarf frog is in a 2.5 gallon glass bowl with a piece of black paper behind, making this heater and its cord practically invisible. It’s so efficient that I had to put it on a timer, as it raises the bowl temp by ten degrees in less than two hours. It’s sturdy, safe and takes up very little space. I will buy another one of these for my second frog tank.
