You know thats funny, I keep my heat on 80 easy, sometimes higher.... but
if i dont have a heater in my betta tank which is not a lot of water like
the bigger tanks it drops down to 72-75 quickly.

You're thermostat may be off. Many are after a few years. Or you may have
the betta tanks in a slight draft. Right now this room is 76F and so are
the betta tanks behind me on the bar. I removed them from the windowsill a
few months ago.

I have one tank in my living
room close to a heater (forced air) and now that tank will stay steady 78,
but i dont like depending on that to much.

When I had tropicals I always had heaters even though I probably didn't need
them.
