I have a 2.5 gallon Mini-Bow for my male betta Sailor. Recently the light bulb in it blew. Its a 15 watt bulb, and I cannot find another one to replace it. The smallest I've been able to find is a 25 watt one. Is this safe to use? Any ideas on where I can look for a 15? Thanks, I know Sailor and I both appreciate it.

15 watt incandescent bulbs are pretty common. Your LFS shoudl be able to order one in. I'd advise against the 25 watter. It could cause too much heat and/or overload your fixture if it wasn't meant for it.
