Temperate/cold advice

[Kyt]

I bought a biorb 15 litre when I knew nothing. I saw the WCM on the front and thought great!! Until I research anyway, I decide I would buy a fighter.

My tank is cycled and I went to fit my heater today and the tank is too small (I here you say surprise I KNOW!!!!!! )

Anyways, I know this is probably completely unlikely but can ANY Cold water/temp fish fit in? ANY at all??

It's literally set up raring to go and I can do sweet nothing with it

I'm looking at 60L in future so I have learnt from this site but oh my good lord I am so gutted. Had my heart set on a betta.

Some members may disagree with me, but as you have this tank, and since basically nothing else will work, I would get a single male Betta if you add the heater. 15 liters is almost 4 gallons, and 5 gallons is suitable for a single Betta, so I do not consider this impossible.

You must be so sick of my questions ha! I literally can't fit the heater in hence Coldwater/temp question but I'm at a loss

Silly me, I misread that sentence in post #1. Sorry. Anyway, can you maybe exchange it for a larger aquarium? I would agree, it is not going to house anything except snails and shrimp.

Pets at home wouldn't exchange it plus it's all been set up for over a month now I was hoping for some random tiny fish I could place. I am gutted the heater isn't fitting

You could put a heating blanket or something of the like underneath. Maybe an overhead light that releases heat. Of course you'd need to do research and see if these options will actually work. I'm just giving you ideas off the top of my head. Also if your room is relatively warm all year round than you might not need a heater. In any case wait for a more experienced member to back up what I'm saying because I'm a total beginner.

Hmm sorry if I have mistaken sth, but how about getting a smaller heater ? Biorb has some mini size heater

Or if your tank allow wired heater, there there other brand mini heater as well like below
