comes with heater or you can put one to keep a betta fish?

It looks to be a perforated area in the lid that could be punched out to fit a heater. Hope that helps.

No heater and not sure if you could add. The only fish that will survive this tank as-is would be a beta.

The heater comes with suction cups, so you can place it anyway you want in the tank. It will fit in a 10 gal sideways. The cord (@ the heater end obviously) can be submerged. That's how I have mine.

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

Don't do that this heater is meant to be inside water or it will over heat. I use this with my betta fish and i change the water every week and when i change the water i pull the little suction cup off and put it in glass of water so you don't unplug again and again, then put it back in when you're ready and make sure to clean it once in a while just clean inside the water you're gonna throw away use your fingers you'll know hen its clean.

No, and I recommend you get one. But I do like the aquarium very much, even without the heater.

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

Hello BettaGal....We love our Aqueon Kit-,Betta Falls and have "enhanced" it with the Aqueon lights.HEATER - Also purchased: THE HYDOR 7.5 watt SLIM HEATER on AMAZON for $8.24. Works beautifully. We also have an internal thermometer to regulate the heating.I hope that this info arrives in a timely fashion and is helpful too.

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.

I have this heater in a 1.5 gallon tank and it works perfect. I keep a temp. Strip on the outside of my tank to keep track and it's always at 78 which my betta seems to be happy with. I live in Washington and we don't use our heater so the house stays pretty cold.

As long as the tank is either tall or wide enough to submerge the heater properly then yes this will work fine. I'd recommend adding the heater to the tank 24 hours before the fish, as it may need calibrated. There's a very easy to follow how-to video on youtube for "eheim jagar calibration" (or simular search should yield the link). Get your heater set up and heating the water to the proper temp then acclimate your betta to the tank (never drop a fish into a heated tank from a cold one, the shock may kill it or cause complications). If you must keep the fish in the tank keep a very close eye on the heater and adjust temperature very slowly to avoid stress to the fish which could cause unwanted issues. And just want to say "THANK YOU" in advance from your betta for getting it a heater! Too many forget they're tropical fish that like warmer water.

I'd personally get a smaller one. This article says 100watts is too much for a 10 gallon tank. Here's the reference article - http://www.thatpetplace.com/fish-tank-heaters-article

I like to keep an invertebrate in the tank, such as a snail or a shrimp. They are good at keeping the tank tidy and bettas don't mind animals who aren't fish.

I use a heater in my bucket... Just cut a slot for the cord in the lid. All of these buckets come with a tiny hole in the lid that I always seal up otherwise if used outside crap gets in your water.

If you read the description. Is says step 1: place the heater in the aquarium.Yes it goes in the tank

When I had the heater, I would set it to a specific temp and it would stay there. I had a male betta and they usually require a specific temp. Not being too cold and such. It seemed to do well with being kept where you adjust it to. I also had a sticky strip thermometer to stick to the outside of the bowl to check the temp to make sure the heater was working. I would suggest one of those as well.
