Why do I need to monitor the temperature of my betta tank water?
To keep your betta fish healthy, happy and active, make sure that they always have clean water at the appropriate temperature. Heaters can be temperamental; the betta thermometer monitors the water temperature as well as the functioning of your heater. Knowing the current, correct temperature of your betta tank means that you can make proper adjustments to make sure the water temperature is at the ideal temperature for your Betta.

It is also important to know the symptoms in your betta fish that suggest your aquarium water is too hot or too cold. Cooler temperatures will slow down a betta’s metabolism causing lethargy, inactivity and loss of appetite. When the temperature gets too high, your betta fish will become overactive and may even start burrowing into the gravel.
