okay, so it I have a beta fish. He lives in a small 1 gallon tank, there is no filter because I clean the tank every 2 weeks. The water was easy to keep at optimum temperature during spring and summer, but now that the colder weather is rolling in the water is dropping down to the 50's and 60's. How can I keep the tank warm during the winter? Is there a cheap heater I can get or anything? To make matters worse, I also have a cat so I have to keep my door closed so that the kitty can't get the fish and this makes the room and tank even colder. I don't want the fish to die but the colder the water the less he eats and now he is looking really sick. I put in water at 80 degrees yesterday and this morning it had cooled to 60 degrees. What can I do?
 
Get a heater designed for small tanks like the one you have, or get him a real home (10 gallons) and use a non novelty heater.

you are an idiot for putting in hot water into a tank with fish, the temperature fluctuations will kill him if he isn't dying already.

10 gallon tank is 10 bucks, small heater is 10 bucks, do some chores or give the fish away.
