Apparently I haven't said enough and I'm not sure why, I know from several of your comments the type of person you are and I know for a fact I'm not going to get anywhere.
It isn't the facts that are getting me here it's you and the way you go about things, until I read jom's statement I had never taken the idea of a heater in a betta bowl with any validity. I still have a touch of skeptisizm as not everything is black and white though I'm more then willing to admit she could easily be correct. I feel as if the mentioned points don't necessarily point to a healthier fish simply a more active one, bears hibernate in the winter this doesn't mean they're unhealthy. I'm not aware of what bettas act like in the wild or even if it's different then this that they are in fact suffering any health issues whatsoever. Still the fact that this is jom's opinion and she has done actual research has made me adjust my view. Which for the record is this
A bettas optimal conditions would contain a heater however it is by no means required.
You don't understand that a major portion of people looking to buy a betta are investing 12 dollars to begin with (9$ kit 3$ betta) so your trying to Double their purchase. And it's a purchase I simply don't see as required even if it was half the price. I don't have a heater in my betta tank because of the purchase, I simply don't see the need for it. In fact I have a spare small heater Not being used.
Fishbone I was going to address you directly however I feel that several of your statements have spoken for yourself, anyone who is capable of understanding your type of personality will know what I'm talking about.
