Yes, Bettas much prefer temperatures above 75 degrees.
Bettas are tropical fish, and need to be in freshwater, when using tap water let it sit there for a day when you know you're gonna do a water change the next day.

Can Betta fish co exist with other fish?

It is a misconception that betta fish do not get along with other fish. While intolerant to their own species, bettas can get along with other fish so long as they are not easy to mistake for another male betta - such as fancy guppies - or fin-nipping fish like many tetras that often go for long-finned fish. Female bettas can be housed with guppies, however.

Can guppies and mollies survive in a fishbowl?

Guppies and mollies are tropical fish, and they require warm temperatures. The fishbowl will require a heater. Also, these fish are sensitive to drastic changes in the quality of their water, therefore, a filtration and aeration system will be necessary. Perhaps a better fish for a fishbowl would be a Siamese Fighting fish (Betta Splendens). With a little floating plant in the bowl and a cover, Bettas do very well. Change the water at least weekly. Bettas come in a variety of colors. Unfortunately, only one Betta can be placed in the fishbowl because they will fight. Almost all tropical fish retailers carry Bettas, and they can tell you how to feed and care for them. To see what a Betta can look like, click on the RELATED LINKS below.

They should never be in the same tank because Guppies are tropical fish and like to be kept over 70F and Goldfish are coldwater fish and like to be kept below 70F. So Goldfish should not bite guppies because they should never be in the same tank together...

Can betas live with guppy's?

No. Male bettas can be kept in community aquariums, but should not be kept with fish that look anything like they do, or are small enough to eat. A male betta will mistake a guppy for another betta and kill it. Female bettas, however, can be kept with other "betta-like" fish without a problem.
