I do see where you say thinking, now that I look back. In that case, if you have the extra room, it will be sooo much easier the larger you go. If you can have even a bit more room, get a standard 5.5 gallon.
Check this out on The Shrimp Farm, because if you want them to breed, you really want to keep them in the mid 70s or their breeding really will slow or stop. I know that my house is absolutely not in the mid 70s year round, 24/7 which is something to think about....leave for work in winter...house def not at 74 for example (unless of course there is someone in the house all day every day I guess).
For what it's worth. I did a TON of research before buying any of the products I've purchased over the years. That means hours and hours of reading and looking at ratings etc. I can tell you that the 5 watt Cobalt Aquatics is going to be better than the 5 watt Aqueon Flat if you're interested. I looked at failure rates. Cooking fish. Not heating. The bad reviews on Amazon for why they got the bad reviews, etc. etc etc. % ration, etc. I have 5 Cobalt Aquatic aquarium heaters. 4 of them are this little 5 watt.
Anyway have fun with the tank :)
It's currently at 76.2 F and has typically been in the 75-77 range. I've seen it as low as 74 I believe. (Mind you I'm using this cheap thermometer though so I wouldn't 100% trust its readings: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008SJ1H7A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I use this heater, had it for 3 weeks so far plugged in 24/7 and it's doing just fine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090I7RC2/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 4 females and 2 males. After being in my tank for about 4 days 1 of them was berried. The other 3 females are saddled and apparently ready any minute now for a male to fertilize 'em.
There's these tiny little heaters you can buy on Amazon and ebay meant for minuscule Betta tanks. I live in a pretty warm climate (Australia) but winter's coming down here. I can't personally recommend the one in the link because I haven't bought it, but these little 5 watt heaters seem to be the way to go. I plan on getting one at some point.
