New Betta Gal Not Eating

Hug the tank until it heats up...

You could get a small submersible heater for the tank. For the little bowl that you have, you could use the smallest one they make. They aren't too expensive. You could try getting a hot water bottle and keeping it against the bowl until you get something better, but make sure you monitor the temp when doing this and don't let it change too quickly. What's the temp at in your room?

LOL I definitely could with the bowl! Poor little gal!

What are these submersible heaters? Where can I buy one at (locally)?

At Wal-Mart I saw that they sold these tiny heaters:

I'd be a bit concerned that it says "no adjustment necessary". Does this mean it has one fixed temperature output? If so you need to know it is set at the correct temperature

Yeah I'll take a look...what should it be fixed at? Between 78-82?

You could try placing her bowl on top of the refrigerator (mine always stays pretty warm) until you can get a heater.

i have to move my tanks round so they are in warm spots in the kitchen. i bet the little girl is chilly. Borrow the heater from the othe tank, make them share! Can you split a bigger tank. Some of the heaters are rubbish, I had 2 or 3 flat ones that stayed at one heat they were rubbish. Let us know how she gets on I love little girl bettas!
