It is best to invest in a heater. If your betta is in a small tank or bowl then a heater should be relatively inexpensive. Keeping the betta in a warm or heated environment is also a possibility. As an absolute last-ditch temporary fix, it is possible to place the betta's habitat on top of a heating pad. It is important to note that this CAN be dangerous. Heating pads have an associated risk of electrical fires and the potential of leaking water is dangerous.
