Betta fish are pretty versatile. They could be in a cold water tank (not below 70 degrees) or in a warmer tank (upper 70's lower 80's) just, don't put them in cold then suddenly warm and vice versa, or, they'll die of shock. Also, they could be in a still water bowl or in a tank with bubbles. Although a betta can survive in a small bowl, a container of at least 2 gallons is preferable (a person could live in a closet, but would he want to??). Male bettas are "fin nippers" and so if placed in a community tank, avoid fish with long fins, like mollies or guppies. You must have at least 1 gallon of water per inch of fish, and provide plenty of hiding places.

Would raising the temperature of a 100 gallon fish tank 5 dgrees kill salt water fish?

the name of the salt water fish is not given. more to the pointy is that gold fish are fresh water fish- therefore salt water fish other than anteroom's or catadromos fishes would eventualy die. These fish die because the salt water is cooler than claen water. Also, it would depend on what the temperature of the tank was before you changed it.
