i would not in case it were to fall over or if the tank would get tooo hot use a fish light 4 watts per gallon and leave it on for eight to four hours a day
Bettas should have a heated tank (78F) and a close fitting cover to keep the air warm and damp so they can breath it easily without damage to their 'labyrinth'. A modern low wattage lamp should not provide too much heat. A light is good.

You can try to put Guppy fish in with your Betta fish. That would be one of the only fish that i would put in with my Betta fish. I say that because i have a Betta male and he is OKAY with guppies. the first guppy i put in his died to to getting picked on by him but the others did not, so just give him another chance if you decide to get guppies. Hope i helped!

Is a Marineland Eclipse 6 okay for a betta fish?
The basic rules for successfull fish keeping are . 1inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. In the case of a Betta it is a 3 inch fish and so it needs at least 3 gallons of water to live in. (so a Marineland Eclipse 6 should do the job OK) It is also a tropical fish and so it needs a heater/thermostat set at 78F and a thermometer to keep a check on it. If you feed the fish well and provide all the above your Betta should do OK. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened life.
