I take it its under a gallon and thats why you aren't telling us, and really, itts not all that easy to heat that size. Do you have another heated tank? If so, i suggest you get a betta barracks or something similar, and pop him in there for winter For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
