You have too much time on your hands. ;-) How about inventing some kind
of
heater for betta bowls to sit on and be heated? You know, like a heat
tape
that runs along the window sill, table or shelf with the bowls sitting on
them. I'll be your first customer.


Take a 500 - 1500W space heater. Put a glass table over it. Put the
jars on there. Adjust the heater between 500 1000 and 1500W as
the season changes or get a thermostatically controlled one. That'll
heat a small room, too.


It would be too expensive. Electricity isn't cheap anymore. Also, the
excess heat would be totally wasted. I want them where I can see and enjoy
them, like on the windowsill they're on now. And I don't really have any
room for a table in here.


That setup would do hundreds of jars. Scale down as required.
