What is the typical life expectancy of a Betta? The one Mom's neighbor gave us is about 2 yrs old according to her, how much longer can we expect to enjoy having him around?

i had mine for 5

3-5, or maybe even more depending on how well you keep him jay

usally 2 years

but if u treat them like kings and feed them good and have CLEAN water all the time....they can last for 5 years

I saw this betta that lived for 8 years :o thats like 300 years in betta world
