Betta fish water tempature?

I got a 3 gallon tank with filter and light from a garage sale for $4, so i finally get to get my betta fish out of its bowl, and into a proper tank
Well, the tank comes with an underwater heater, its a long tube with tempature markings on it, and you can set if from 60* to 90* and i wanted to know what tempature is the best tempature for a betta fish
Answers:
78 degrees is perfect for a betta fish. I have 3 myself and they thrive in seperate bowls. kudos to you for getting a tank for your bettas for he will grow
Around 26c or 78 f is the best temperature for a betta,make sure you increase the temperature gradually as a sudden shift could shock your fish.
It's best for a betta to be at room temperature but if you would like to use a tank heater the best setting is 75-80 degrees. If kept as this temperature and kept out of direct sunlight he should be happy and healthy.
High 70's like 78-80 is fine.
Bettas will do well in a wide range of temperatures, but 78-82F will be best.

78 degrees F is perfect for a better. Increase the temp gradually and then make sure it doesn't fluctuate too much.
The temperature in the tank should be between 75-86掳F.
