I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 divided Bettas in there. And I just put a 10 gallon 50 watt Heater in there for my Bettas, so I was wondering how long should I leave it in the tank?

If I leave it on all the time, won't it overheat?

Your tank heater needs to be in the tank and on all the time, 24/7. It has a thermostat so it will switch itself on/off as needed to keep the temperature constant.
It won't overheat. It will turn itself off when the water get's warm, and then turn itself back on when the water cools.

you could go away the heater in. If it has warmth settings, you could turn it right down to low, because of the fact the dish is small. maximum aquariums go away in warmers 24/7 nonetheless they provide up using the tank. experienced fish keepers will video demonstrate the temperature of the water so they could seize if the heater isn't working or malfunctions. Bettas are tropical fish and that they thrive while being saved at temperatures that are interior their organic ecosystem. Bettas DO want warmers while in chilly air conditioned environments.

You should leave the heater in and on at all times. It will turn on and off as needed to keep the tank temperature stable.
