So, i just got my Betta fish, Mr. Squid, 12 hours ago, and already i'm scared that i'm killing him. (not that extreme though 
)
i have him in a 5 gallon tank with gravel, a silk plant, a filter, and a light, but no heater. and that's what's concerning me. I don't have a thermometer, but i felt Squid's water and it's freezing! he's been pretty lethargic (just resting in the plant) and i'm thinking that's why. i'm going to try to get a heater asap. UNLESS....
are there any tricks that you, as a betta owner, use to keep Mr. Betta warm without a heater? is a heater necessary? like i said, i have a lightbulb, and it's been on for the past 5 hours and it hasn't warmed up the water much. will Mr. Squid get sick if his water isn't warm enough?
thanks
