Question

How long can a fighting fish live if we take good care of it?

Answer 1

a healthy betta can live up to seven yrs.... although the average age they live to is about 4 yrs old.

Answer 2

4 years

Answer 3

4-5 years

Answer 4

depending how old when you get it up to about 4-5 years at a push. normally 2-3 years.  

Answer 5

2 years average, but they can live for at least 5 years that I know of.  But not in a bowl.  For a long, healthy life, provide at least a 2.5 gallon tank with a heater.  Water temp needs to be 76-82 F with weekly water changes and tank cleaning.

Answer 6

They're lifespan can be 7 years.  You need to keep it in a filtered heated 5 gallon tank minimum.  Feed it sparingly and make sure the tank is cleaned weekly with partial water changes and gravel vacuuming.

It is totally a myth that betta's enjoy being kept in small spaces and that they only live a few months.
