I have my betta fish Rusty in a 2.5 gallon tank by Aqueon will this work for him?

I had Otto in a huge ginger jar, about the same in gallons I think, and the heater was perfect for him. It does have a mechanism for adjusting the temperature. I only needed use it in winter, when ambient room temperature was 70F or less. best, M.

I personally would worry you could "cook" him. Maybe if you placed him in a 5 gallon WITH a thermometer he would be safest. I hope this helps.

I have this tank and a tetra 40 gallon fish tank and as far as I can tell they are the same other than the locking screen top on the reptile one. I would contact tetra directly to be sure though.

I would most likely say 1-2 weeks, and then you'll have to clean the filter out. This filter only cleans the water of little particles. This filter does not clean up the feces on the bottom of your tank. I like this filter a lot. I have three baby bettas in a 5 gallon and this filter keeps the water clean for 4 weeks. Hope this helps!

I use these for my breeder tanks 20 gal. it just provides enough beneficial bactiria for two 6 inch fish for couple of day as they require frequent water changes so i think (NO)

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.

I'm not sure because I returned mine after my fish got pulled thru & stuck in the waterfall feature. The water flow even on the lowest setting is way to strong for Bettas

It probably would. If not, switching to another canister only takes moments. You might consider an adapter hose and 5 gallon tank.

It will work for a betta, however i think you would be wasting your money as they eat so little it's really not worth buying such and expensive feeder. i use mine for a 46 gallon tank.

No, it will work since it shuts off when it gets to the correct temperature. BUT! I do not recommend this brand. After a month mine stopped shutting off, and it boiled my fish. I reccomend spending a little more money and get a better brand

Depending on the size of tank you have (I had a 5.5 gallon tank), this filter may be too strong for a betta. It definitely was for mine. But I'd say there is a possibility of harm to your betta.

Should work fine as long as it is a fresh water tank. It doesn't say in the details but it also needs a lid to your tank to keep and moisture off the light

Yes, it will work great in a 1.5 gal beta tank, although its a little big for the job.

I don't believe so. Mainly these mini heaters are intended for 1 gallon tanks and up, anything smaller will cook whatever you have in there. I think you'll be fine without one. I keep my Betta's in gallon cylinder glass containers in room temp and sometimes colder and they are perfectly fine.

Yes! I kept this heater in my 1 gallon corner tank in which I kept my betta fish. Depending on the species you plan to keep and their temperature preference you need to be careful because one gallon of water doesn't take much to heat. If you are using a light with the tank, this could add heat, too. If left on too long this heater can get the water in to the mid to high 80's, which is HOT... Too hot for most fish. I would absolutely recommend buying a cheap stick on thermometer... Usually within about 4 dollars. To summarize, this heater is acceptable for a 1 gallon tank. Probably one of the most fitting, actually. Just keep an eye on the temp. until you figure out your routine.

Yes! My fish had tail rot and was pretty much just floating around in the fishbowl. I used this for 2 weeks and his fins grew back bigger & brighter than before! The tank will get cloudy after a few drops and it smells like Vicks vapor rub but it is worth it!

If you have a Minibow type 5 gallon, it should fit, the question is, will it separate the bettas adequately, and when I had it, it didn't.

No, I am using mine in a 2 1/2 gallon Aqueon Betta Tank housing a red male Crown-tail Betta & a dwarf African frog. If you face the exhaust nozzle towards the rear of the filter just against the wall behind the filter just below the water's surface the water turbulence will be greatly diminished. I hope this information was helpful.
