How to raise the water temperature for betta fish
Betta fish are tropical fish that need warm water to survive. If the water temperature is too cold, the betta fish will not be able to swim and may die. You can raise the water temperature for betta fish by using a heating pad or a tank heater.
What are the effects of raising the water temperature for betta fish?
Betta fish are tropical fish and prefer a warm water temperature of 80-86°F (27-30°C). A higher water temperature can be harmful to betta fish. Raising the water temperature beyond 86°F (30°C) can cause stress, illness and death in betta fish. At 85°F (29°C), betta fish will start to show signs of stress including restlessness, changes in coloration, decreased eating and breathing and finally death. Betta fish should only be heated to 82°F (28°C) or lower.
