Without doing a scale ring count under a microscope it is not possible to accurately state a fishes age. In the case of a fighting fish (Betta splendens) they are short lived anyway and are usually sold at around 6 months old when their fins are fully developed. They are getting old by 2 years and usually only live to around 5 years.
It matters on the turtle's age...

You first cut the turtle. Count the number of rings. Multiply by 17. Thats it.
what kind of turtle cuz there are lots of different species. also what age because they grow.
The sex of a turtle is not determined by its pattern. It is usually determined by the shape of the underside of the shell. A male turtle usually has a somewhat concave bottom shell, while a female turtle's bottom shell is more flat. Another method to determine the sex of a turtle is by the shape of the tail. The tail of a male is usually wider and "stubbier" than that of a female turtle. See link below for further information. It includes pictures demonstrating the differences between male and female turtles/tortoises.
A lot of people would tell you that you know how old a turtle is by counting the boxes on its shell, but it isn't true. I guess the only way to know is to know when it was born. To check it out yourself, you can go to www.yourturtle.wetpaint.com:)
Breeding stocks ages are told by the tattoo given at birth; but for a market pig, most pigs age is determined by their weight. Breeding stocks ages are told by the tattoo given at birth; but for a market pig, most pigs age is determined by their weight.
Turtle Wexler from "The Westing Game" is determined, clever, and resourceful. She is not afraid to speak her mind and is quick to take on challenges with a strategic approach.
There is no way to tell how old a sea turtle is or even how long they live. The best estimate is that they can be up to eighty years old when they die. There are no rings or lines on a turtle shell that increase with age to tell how old the turtle is. A typical sea turtle reaches breeding age around 25-30 (for loggerheads). After a turtle does become an adult, it is anyone's guess how old it is.
