Re: Betta breathing at surface: Normal?
Aqueon's usually decent, but yeah, watch it. Let us know how the airstone works out. Sometimes it's the simplest fixes that do the trick.

Re: Betta breathing at surface: Normal?
If you're gonna add an airstone, keep it chill though. Bettas don't like strong currents. And yeah, heaters can be sketchy. I've had one spike to 85 degrees outta nowhere. What brand are you using?

Re: Betta breathing at surface: Normal?
Yep, gotta agree with caninefan. If the sponge filter isn't creating much movement, the water might be low on O2. Try adjusting the flow or adding an airstone. Also, what's your feeding routine? Overfeeding can mess with water quality even if params look good.
