Would this be too much for a one gallon tank with a betta fish?

I think it would be perfect if it will fit. I have a 3 gal and it doesn't keep it warm enough.

No. On average, a heated tank needs about 5 watts of heat per gallon, but bettas are tropical so 7.5 should be fine.

I have a one gallon tank for my betta. My room temperature was around 66 degrees F so way too cold! This keeps it around 78 degrees F steady though a betta should be in a desired 80 degrees F. You can assume it will raise your temp about 10-12 degrees so if your room temperature is anymore than 70 degrees, you run the risk of over heating the tank. Be sure to keep a close on the temp with a thermometer if your room temperature is higher and be sure to unplug the heater if too much.

I would say yes - I had mine in a one gallon plastic tank with no problems. FYI - when you change the water, make sure you unplug the heater, even if it's just going to be out of the water for a little bit. It will overheat pretty quickly and quit working. Voice of experience :-(

Personally I think it may be too much for that size tank. It would filter just fine and do a great job, my only reservation would be current. It would be pretty turbulent in there and the intake might suck in some fish in a heavily stocked tank.

I do mine once a week I have a betta in it it is only big enough for one fish

Yes, it would be fine. Just be aware the LED lights do not last very long. It is perfect for 1 fish.

Yes, should not be an issue provided you have fish in the tank and someone will be feeding them. That should keep up the difference.

NO...it will get way too hot!! I had this in my 2.6 G Fluval and raised the temp to 86. MAYBE you could try the 5 watt but better to go with a little betta heater made for that size.

I have it on top of my 2.5 gallon betta tank (just resting on top) and it is about the width of the top. So not sure how big you're looking for but that's a size comparison. 29 gallon sounds awfully big but it might work

In my 25 gallon tank I have just one 3" fish and for her I break a corner off and drop it in, the water then separates the shrimp and the fish eats them - I also end up with some left over powder & use it for my baby guppies. For a betta I would use just a small piece.

We have a pretty small tank for our own fish -- a little under a gallon -- and it has worked fine for the tank.

For temporary holding it should be ok, but I personally feel long term would not be good for the betta. Contrary to popular belief, they actually do need more space than that. The flow of water wouldn't be enough to disturb the betta, but its not much space for long term use. I'd suggest a 5 gallon tank.

I would say that if it is a betta, it probably won't be an issue. The previous poster was keeping platys, and more than one of them. I'm not surprised there were problems. If I put a zebra danio in there, it would probably jump out too. But bettas are a lot more sedate, and you only keep one, so he won't be trying to evade an annoying tankmate.

No because you are way, way overstocked. You need a minimum of a 29 gallon for angel fish. Also mollies are brackish fish. With that much crammed into such a small tank there are going to be water quality problems and extra aggression. You should be focusing on getting things out of that tank, not adding them.

You may be cramming to many things in there at once. Remember this is only a one gallon tank. If you get the three gallon tank you may have more room if it's wider.

No. This is already a bit small for a Betta. Most enthusiasts recommend at least 5G for a Betta so that they have enough room (they survive in those little cups at pet stores but they aren't meant to stay in small quarters that long). But add in Guppies and the water will become toxic from their waste unless you change it daily. The guppies will probably die because they have weak constitutions (they tend to be inbred to produce reliable color patterns).

The entire tank is 2.3 gal.It's great divided for small fish. I used mine divided into 3 instead of 5 . i had 2 Betta's and put a dwarf frog in the middle.

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...
