!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These fish are commonly called Bettas, and they usually live for one, possibly two, years. I had two of these fish that I bought in 2005, and they both died around 10 months after I bought them. They caught a fungus sort of thing, I think, and I could not save them. I had bought separate tanks right from the beginning, so I don't believe they could have shared the same fungus. The stomach of the red fish swelled up. The blue fish stopped eating. I found lots of good information on my Bettas over the internet. (That's where I learned that their expected life span is one, maybe two years.) But don't waste your money on buying a book over the Internet. You can find the information you need at bettatalk.com, aquariumfish.net, and more. The red one was larger than the blue one. I enjoyed my own experiments in teaching them--trying to expand their knowledge base. They are pretty smart fish! They can be trained. I was planning to teach them to ring a bell when they got sick, and I was afraid to put anything into the water with them. I recently saw something on the TV where the cute little fish rang a bell for his person. I know it can be done! DON'T put two males into the same tank of water! They will kill each other. I put a mirror in front of mine, and they try to fight with their reflections! I allowed them to see each other, and they spent all day every day at the sides trying to fight with each other. I had to put something in between them, so they could not see each other. I recommend you get a good plant to put into the tank with your fish. There are good sites on the Net that make plant suggestions. My fish LOVED blood worms. The experts say you should only allow your fish to have worms as special treats. Good luck with your fish.
