What size tank are yours in? A 25 watt heater is used by some in a 2 gal size tank. In smaller tanks there is a new small heater here you could check out: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...+112984+ 2035

A 25 watt heater will do. I have a blue male betta in a 5 gal and just put 2 cory cats in with him today. The betta goes after the littlest one but should get used to them in a day or so. I LOVE cory cats.
