Male bettas only live about 2-3 years in good conditions!That means one that is not being bred.Breeding will beat the life right out of your bettas.Plenty of live food will help expand the life of any Freshwater Fish. Also,If you love your pet and want him or her to live a long happy life i suggest at least a 10 gallon tank for all betta species! Male Betta fish live alone and should't be in the same tank.

∙ 6y agofish I have had my betta for over a year and I feed him once a night- sometimes he skips his feeding. I usually feed him about 3-5 little pellets- although the food directions call for two feedings of 7 pellets at a time.

∙ 14y agoYou should take him out once the fry start to swim around! or else he might eat them! Then it is very hard work, because you are the one who will be taking care of those fry after you take the male out!

∙ 14y agoOnce the fry are free swimming and feeding (a few days after hatching) it is best to remove the male before he looses his rag with them and gobbles the lot up.

What is the oldest Betta fish on record?
To the best of my knowledge no one keep those kind of records. Bettas are mature at 12 months, past their prime at 2 years old and ancient fish at 4 if they live that long. I have a Betta fish that is now over 5 years old because I change the water once a week with 2 gallons of purified water and I add about 20 drops of Splendid Betta Complete Water Conditioner to it. Using the water conditioner is a MUST to ensure that your Betta fish will live a very long life. I also feed my Betta fish 4 pellets of Hikari Betta Bio Gold once a day in the morning and 1 pellet at around 7pm.

How do betta fish adapted?
Betta fish live in rice paddies in places like Thailand. These paddies are miles long but shallow without much current. So the betta fish slowly developed the labyrinth organ which allows the fish to breathe air from the surface rather then use its gills.
