Bettas (pronounced bet-tah, not bay-tah) only live 2-3 years under very good conditions (and who knows how old they are when you buy them at the store). If yours don't last around a year and a half, you are not taking care of them properly.

They need at least 2-3 gallons of water with a filter and a heater. They should also be given some floating plants as this makes them feel secure when they hide under them. They are tropical fish from southeast Asia and need 78-80 degrees for their water. They are carnivorous and should be fed a high protein, high quality flake food (preferably 45-50% protein). Betta-Min is a good choice (small yellow can).

Never change 100% of their water, just do regular (weekly) partial (25-30%) water changes and they will be healthy and happy for quite a while.

Failing to do any of this for your betta will stress them a lot and the stress will eventually compromise their immune system. Once that happens, they will usually sicken and die.

Crowntails are the best, IMHO, I have three right now in a 30 gallon tank with other fish.

Fearless cheerleader, i'm sorry to be so blunt yet your spelling, punctuation and grammar incredibly nauseates me. honestly, Chess, like cricket between different activities, could verify out the outlook an extremely uninteresting sport however the skill and skill of gamers is previous doubt. Are you attempting to assert that dressing up in tight, in all probability revealing clothing is the only way human beings could be anticipated to make a rounded living? Are you purely asserting chess is for "geeks" on account which you will in no way attain their psychological heights? It rather looks this way. additionally, i don't particularly see the way you're such a sophisticated learner in case you won't be in a position to even string at the same time a legible paragraph wherein i'm able to purely only understand what you're rather asserting. asserting that chess is for gay human beings is undeniably unfair and stereotypical of chess gamers. Are you purely asserting this on account which you're somebody who's content fabric on purely showing your self off to adult adult males of your age? And no, i'm not a retard using fact I share a distinctive opinion to you. Why precisely are activities like soccer, basketball and wrestling sturdy activities too? Is it purely using fact this activities are sturdy for the cheerleading marketplace? the only reason you dress "greater clever" is using the reality that, on your occupation, or interest using fact the case could be, you're able to desire to care approximately your visual appeal. it is, we could desire to bear in concepts, not each and every person's interest.

I love them. I think they're great. I've wanted one for years but with three cats that's not the greatest idea.
