Do I Need A Heater For....

... 1 male betta, a small group of cory cats, and possibly 2 african dwarf frogs? If so what temperature should it be set at? (in fahrenheit)

yes you will need a heater set at around 79 fahrenheit

A "small group" of cories should really be at least six, they are very social fish and find security in numbers.

www.aqadvisor.com suggest a temp of 24-27C (~75-82F), so whether you need a heater depends upon your room temp, in Southampton I've found if I turn the heater off it settles at 24C (but we are having a heatwave by normal standards right now)

yes but if you left it off through the night aswell i doubt it would stay at 24 c over the space of a few days you cant really rely on the weather to look after your tank you need a heater with a thermostat then if its warm enough the heater wont come on anyway

Yeah, I know that's what I mean by a small group.
