Heaters in fish bowl or small (1-3 gal) tank

[ValRasbora]

Fist of all, i have a weird new keyboard, so sorry for any spelling mistakes!
I have been wondering this for a while now. I just want to know becaus its a good thing to know,i guess. here's my question:
Can you have a heater in a fish bowl or small tank (1g-3g) as long as it's glass? THANKS EVERYONE!!*BOUNCINGS

as long as its glass, i think your alright, as for your school of tetras, id trade the rasbora in and get about 5 more and have a proper school i have 12 neons tetras in my 20g and i love watching them school together

I just heard that you cannot put heaters in fishbowls, but it didn't say anything about glass or plastic, I was curious, so I asked the question!

 

[vampirefish]

it depends what shape the tank is, i found it practically impossible to get a heater for a round tank but a rectangular or hex. tank should be fine

At the Petsmart I work for we sell these very small and very thin heaters that heat 2-5 gallon tanks. They raise the temperature to about 75°.

Here's a link to the product online.

I wouldn't put any fish in something that small, but maybe that's just me. Even my bettas get bigger tanks.

lol I'm the same way. All my bettas have 5+ gallons.

I am just curious because it'sgood to know! if I was going to get a small tank, It probably wouldn't be so small, I just sorta typed in 1-3g, I meant more like 1-5g. Anyways, live in canada, and I haven't seen any petsmarts around, so I could try Pets Unlimited or whatever, if I was going to go for a fish bowl\small tank heater. Thanks

 

[RexyTexel]

Hmm..I'm pretty sure we have Canadian locations. Maybe just not near you.

 

[ValRasbora]

Hmm. probably right there, Rexy! Oh well I'm not getting a fishbowl any time soon, so until I do, I'm good.

Would anyone who bothers to post in this forum use a fish bowl?

Do you plan on any filtration or were you planning 50% water changes every day?
