How long do Betta fish live?

Answer 1

4 years

Answer 2

On average, 4 to 5 years is fairly common. One thing to remember is that when you buy your betta fish, particularly the males (with the pretty fins), they are usually about 2 years old already when you buy them.
The average life span for a beta fish to live is 1-2 years. Or in some cases it can live from 5 to 10 years!
for a year or more depending how to take care of them

Answer 3

Betteanne not long-lived fish. The fish that are sold to you by specialist breeders are usually around three months old. This is old enough to judge the future quality of their coloration and Finnegan, and they reach sexual maturity at around this age. Breeding's from younger fish often produce better fry. Males sold in pet stores are usually around six to nine months old and females around three or four months (note that some 'females' are young placket males that have not developed their full Finnegan). The lifespan of a Betta is between two and three years, so if your Betta dies and you have had it for around a year, it probably just died of old age. Some betas have lived to be more than five, but this is uncommon but its length between 2.5-3inches (7cms)
