possibly OT betas?

Where can I get questions answered about Betas? If here is ok, then my
question is whether it's disturbing to betas, or any fish for that matter to
have their tank placed on top of a TV? Thanks

it is off topic because bettas are tropical fish but i think it is just
because the tv emits heat and that will heat up the tank significantly wich
will stress the fish out also im sure the tv vibrates because of the
speakers and that will stress the fish out too.

I had my betta in a 2 gallon bowl on top of a large screen TV for over a year
before upgrading his tank to a planted 5 gallon with filter and heater.

So yours should be fine...

I worry about the vibrations. If the speakers are separate from the TV
proper you're probably OK.

Bettas like their water about 80 deg F. So significantly warmer than
room temp is OK... IFF you keep it stable. Most betta tanks are too
small to be thermally stable...
