http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2187 this is 15w one please help me i dont want my betta to die thx alot
i also want to turn that tank into a tropical aquarium in the future so would the 7.5watts one realy do that...?

That's almost a 3 us gallon tank so I would go with the 7.5 watt heater. Good job finding out Betta's need a heater. Your Betta is a lucky fellow.

Good Luck

edit: yes it will support a tropical tank as it will heat up to 5g. Although 3 gallons is to small for most tropical schooling fish.
