    Default Temperature went up +2 degrees C - OK?

    My 3.3G betta tank went up 2 degrees over the course of the day from 25 to 27 ... I think somebody was messing with my heater's dial - should I be worried? I've dialed it back down to hopefully bring it back down to it's usual 25.

    It has a single betta in there.

    Not sure what kind of sensitivity there is to a temp change of that magnitude.

    Should be okay, 27 degrees is within their natural temperature range. Bettas can take a huge beating and a 2 degree fluctuation over the course of a day wouldn't be that stressful.

    Checked up on him this morning and he was his usual zippy self around the tank... still, don't want to be doing that too often. Probably was lucky to have glanced at the dial and caught it in time.
