No betta are tropical fish who should be kept in the 75-85 range. Below 75 they get slugish, and generally don't live as long. Below 65-70 they will die. Fish really don't hibernate, but cold water fish carp like goldfish come very close to it.

PS- Keep in mind rapid temperature changes are far more lethal than a low temp. Be sure to raise the temp slowly.

Thats just cruel. Bettas need heated and filtered 20+ litre aquariums! I hate to think what your other fish were in. Do some research before buying fish. EDIT: FYI petshops just want your money and those small containers they sell them in are for temporary housing. These fish come from massive tropical rice paddies and streams in Thailand. You said your other fish are healthy but your paradise had ich which is usually caused by bad water quality. All the petshops where I live keep their bettas in filtered and heated community tanks. The paradise fish (and maybe the catfish depending on the species) is the only fish you have that can actually live in coldwater but it requires at least a 40 litre aquarium with a filter. EDIT: Suzie where you live has nothing to do with it. A betta is a betta no matter where you live and the same rules apply. Petshops will tell you anything to sell you things. EDIT: carole you are on the right track but 24c is about the minimum and 30c is on the upper end of the scale. Also bettas come from Thailand and a few other parts of Asia not India.

No, their water temperature should be at 79F at all times (well, it can drop a little at night)
