Can you put a heater in an acrylic fish tank?

Question

What kind of heater, if any, will work in an acrylic fish tank. The tank is small, only about 2.5 gallons.

Answer 1

Any will work, but with a 2.5 gallon, you can't exactly fit a heater in it.

Answer 2

You can buy a junior heater for those little tanks. Just be careful because they don't have a thermostat and are always on. You'll need a thermometer and take the heater out in the summer if the water starts to get too hot. **

Answer 4

Not 100% sure if this will work, but petstores sell heaters for the plastic kritter keepers, they stick to the side or underneath. You can find them with the hermit crab stuff in the petstores. Heres a link to one http://www.petdiscounters.com/product.php?productid=1045003&cat=276&page=1

Yes you can. I have two with heaters in them. and their both less than 1 gallon.
