| I purchased this heater for our beta who lives in a 1 gallon jar; note the heater is spec'd for 2 to 5 gallon containers. During the winter we keep our house at 60 degrees and this heater keeps the jar at a consistent 72. |

I bought this little gadget to heat my Beta's bowl after he went into pseudo-hibernation. I was afraid a one-gal bowl would overheat so I got a 2-gal one for it. It started warming up immediately, and as all the other reviews state, it gets it about 5-10 degrees above room temperature. Since it doesn't have a thermostat, you really don't want it to do more than that for fear of overcooking your little friend.
My Beta LOVES it. It took him two and a half weeks to come out of his stupor, but he's eating again. It's harmless enough that he actually huddled up behind it, so it clearly doesn't bother him to touch it. He likes it a lot warmer than room temperature (he's really happy at 80 degrees!). SAM (the fish) and I are both very thankful. |

| I purchased the Hydor Mini 7.5W Heater for my .9 gallon tank with my betta. Note that the heater is spec'd for a 2-5 gallon tank. Before he had to deal with 70 degree temperatures, which is not ideal and borderline too cold. Since putting the heater under the gravel in the tank, the tank is now constantly between 75-80 degrees, which is the normal temperature for a betta. I highly recommend this product to keep your betta longer and keep him more comfortably. |

My betta fish's water was mostly in the 60-degree range, below a betta's ideal temperature (70-80F). As a result, the betta was very inactive. I bought this heater for a one-gallon bowl, and it increased the water temperature about 10 degrees. Now the betta is very active.
Even though the specs say it's designed for a 2-5 gallon tank, I'd still recommend it for a 1-gallon bowl. Just keep an eye on the ambient temperature because this heater does not have an automatic shutoff. |

| This little heater works like a charm in a smaller tank. I have a 3 gallon tank with a single Siamese Fighting Fish. He's more active and happy now that his tank stays toasty. Quick turn-around as well. Exactly what I expected. |
