I know that Japanese firebellies should be able to handle the warmer temps better than Chinese Firebellies, but I really would not get a heater. But of course, definitely let us know the temps. My Chinese firebellies prefer the water at around 62 degrees farenheit, and Japanese should be able to do the same. Are you making sure to use spring water or unchlorinated undistilled water? Seems to me with the windows open and all, it should be a perfectly fine temperature. I really would not get a heater.The species likes it cold.
