Betta fish can live for a very long time, with proper care. Actually, I've seen some very old ones.. one reached almost eight years old! It all depends, though. You may have gotten your Betta when it was already slightly older, or it just might not be the healthiest fish. That does happen from time to time. You can take him to your nearest pet store (as long as they sell fish, of course!) and have someone check him out.. He could have an illness that can be treated, or something! Good luck!

The lifestyles span of a betta fish is three-four years. Now I will have to understand purpose at one factor I had 24 of them and sure all of them had been in one of a kind tanks (I understand loopy) however I love them. Now part of mine died with in two years in which because the relaxation died with in three years. However I nonetheless have three of them running on 12 months five. So it simply will depend on how ancient your fish is whilst you purchase them and lots of different elements. Like I mentioned I've had plenty of them so I understand what I'm speaking approximately I understand virtually the whole lot there's had to understand approximately Betta Fish. Hope I helped :)

My beta named Edward lived to be 3 years old. By that time he looked really sick. His "scales" looked tattered and he kept having little seizures. He also would look dead for a while and lie on the bottom of the tank, but then when I tried to fish him out he would swim away. Maybe your fish is just sick.
Beta's normally don't live very long (1-2 years)

Most bettas kept at home live about 1-2 years; under perfectly monitored laboratory conditions they can live to 8 or 9 years.

When the betta fish are in the shops they are around 6 months old the average lifespan depends whether it is wild or breed in captivity in the wild about 1 year and when breed in captivity around 2-3 years
good luck,

mine lived for a year under completely by the book care... your betta may either be sick, or was an adult when you bought it... i would suggest going to pets mart if you can- they have great betta books and i am sure the people would be glad to help you
