Greetings! Is this tank specifically for non tropical fish, or can a heater be inserted/used in this tank?

I placed a heater in my tank. I have had it for a year now and like it a lot.

Hi! Yes, a heater can be used with this tank. I use a long, slim black one...........can't remember the make but think it is a fluval.

I have the 12 gallon and it doesn't have a heater but one can be purchased for either size from Amazon Fluval EDGE 6 Gallon Aquarium - FLUVAL EDGE 25W COMPACT HEATER

You can add a heater, and you can do it with the lid that comes with the tank. I added some special equipment to my tank, that's why I needed a custom lid. As for the heater, I would recommend the very smallest kind they make -- one that is intended for goldfish bowls or beta fish bowls. Most pet stores carry them. You can slide it into a compartment in the back of the tank.

The heater I have is in a plastic pond (200 gal.). The suction cups wouldn't work due to the slimy sides, so I just dropped it in. Works great. If your tank is glass, you should have no worries. I've had our heater for 2 years now and it still works like new.

I got a 50w hydor heater and placed it in the tank. But its only because my betta couldn't swim well with the filter not modified. If you dont lower the water flow you can put in inside where the water pump is

Just take the cover off and you can put a pump/stone. I have a heater in my tank, I have a Betta. You have plenty of room. Good Luck

I actually got a betta heater that suctions to the side of this tank without an issue. I love this tank. I would, however, invest in a different "filter" as it doesn't come with a filter but an air stone. I found a small tank filter at my local pet store. The LED light is amazing, several colors and a couple effects on it. All in all my Betta and I love this tank :)

The temp adjustable and it stop heating at the set temp. The only potential problem I can see is the heater heating your tank to fast due to the size and that can put your fish at risk

yes, I very much like this one; Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls, 2 to 5 gal It works well without cooking your fish.

The Fluval c2 power filter advertises that it has a ceramic heater core... unless its built in somewhere inside, its not visable period. so with that said, i still had my glass tube style heater and continue to use it with the power filter as i doubt that something i can not even see will heat the 20 gallon long tank enough for that fish i have.

I call it a blubber and you should be able to purchase a similar one at your local pet store that sells tropical fish. Bring the unit in and I am sure they can provide a similar unit.

I would use on cold water fish in this tank such as Bettas or Goldfish since the tank does not come with a heater.

My heater started working immediately. I suggest not leaving it out of water for any length of time. It will get hot to the touch very quickly. Even though it has a constant on feature, there is a limit to how hot the tank can get which is a combination of the tank size and the ambient temperature of the room. I am using mine in a 1.77 "goldfish starter kit" (who are they kidding) with an added external light and this heater and my Betta is doing fine. He is a classroom Betta, and my room gets cold!

No you can't place a gold fish in this tank. It's only meant for Betta fish.

There is no problem to add a heater - it will pop up on Amazon as a recommended accessory when you click on the Tetra cube. You should also buy the Azoo 60 external filter because the one in the kit is useless and the fish will die.

I have this tank for a betta. The heater I use is a 10-watt Marina compact heater, it is stored in the filter compartment. http://www.amazon.com/Marina-C10-Compact-Heater-10-Watt/dp/B003TLWWOO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1395098241&sr=8-12&keywords=mini+aquarium+heater

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

Yes, I actually use it in a 5 gal tank. You would need a separate aquarium thermometer though to monitor the temperature. It tends to warm the water a little too much in warmer months, so I would unplug the heater then.
