plastic safe heater?

is there a heater that is safe to use in a 5 gallon Kriter Keeper? its being used for my betta Cornelious, and there really isnt much room, so a small one would be good, and cheap would be amazing any info would rock! <3333

I have a Hydor Theo 50W in a 25L (5.5G), it's small (about 7") and does a real good job. Although not the cheapest of heaters

I'd imagine that most heaters should be fine in plastic/perspex tanks, so long as you don't let the heater rest on the plastic.

You could also look at the Hydor Mini-Heaters, which are designed for small temp increases (~4-5 deg F)

I use a Kritter Keepers. In one I have a Top Fin but it takes up a lot of room. In the other, I have a Tetra. It's small, but not adjustable.

I'll mention the Theo hydor heater. It's 50w and adjustable. I've never used it in a Kritter Keeper, but I would if I had to. It's small and adjustable.

All 3 are fully submersible.

i was looking at those before i got my 20 gallon and still was using my 10 gallon, but in the stores hre they are out of my price range... i think they're like $15 for the smaller one at Petco, and about the same at PetSmart.
