well i have a 55 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank, we have a water heater in our 55 gallon tank and its working well, but i have a question do you really need a water heater in a 10 gallon fish tank, theres only 2 fish in there? what do you guys think.. i'm the only one in my family that says you dont need one in thete,, but i'm not sure

Well that depends entirely on the type of fish your keeping. If they are tropical and need a constant tropical temperature then yes you need one.

Most fish folks have in their tanks (including bettas) are tropical fish. They will need a heater in their tank. Goldfish and white cloud minnows are 2 examples of non-tropical fish, and would not require a heater.

Yes, depending on what type of fish you have, you may or may not need a heater.

I personally have a 10 gallon tank and have a heater in it. It wasn't all that expensive for a good quality one, about $20-$25 I believe. You can get ones even cheaper if you like, but my personal opinion is, the more you spend now the less you will spend later replacing the thing when it breaks down.
