How old is your Betta?

[BettaLove]

I have had Fernando for about 3 years now and he is still going strong! How old is your Betta?

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Tim is around 3.5 years old, still active and happy. I recently lost my other betta from a big stomach tumor, he was about 3-3.5 years old.

I got him in December of 03...so thats what two and a half years that I've had him, plus how old are they by the time they're for sale at a pet store?

 

[ninamarie]

They are about 7 months to 1 yr old in the stores. Depends on who the breeder is that they get them from. My petco has a local breeder and they come in at 7 months old.

I got Pinky in April this year so I am guessing he is around a year now.

Wouldn't it be nice if they lived as long as goldfish. (-:

Sir Cei's only a couple of weeks old (well plus however old he was when i got him). He's going to have a brother soon! Now to just decide who gets the bigger tank...

Hey bettalove,great to see you! You dont seem to be round as often.............anyhow Llyr,i have only had a few weeks but he is a good size so I am going to say he is a year old,just cause I can!

I got my first betta only a few months ago, but he is doing well at work on the desk. I give him a little mirror to terrorize for about an hour a day.

I'm also betta-sitting for a co-worjer who is on a 3 week vacation. I'm hoping to really fatten up his betta while he's away because it really looked sickly when I got him 2 weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that folks have had bettas for years. People at work tell me horror stories about theirs lasting for only a few months.

I bet a lot of those people had a Betta Vase. Those vases can be torture

 

[Rossignol]

We'll the first betta I had Was 2 years almost 3 when I got him a bigger bowl and we put a plant in it. The guy at lowes said he could tell us how to put the plant in the tank properly so we dont posion him. We'll the guy was wrong the next day it was dead. about 3 years later I got another one. He lived till about 1 year and 8 months then died because of dropsy. And my little brother got a betta. He was in a small bowl so I asked him if I could put him into my 20 gal. Where my previous betta lived. Well he has been living for about... 3 years in april.

Flipper is about a year old I will say. i will look into getting another desk guest for him(female( and maybe he will make some more BBL nests. I miss those alot. My two Bettas at home make little rows of bubbles.
thos guys are about 1 1/2 old, I go them in Dec.

Great to hear it! Llyr is doing great! I had to put fake plants in his bowl as the real ones kept dying!*SICK*

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

I've had Frank the Betta for a year and 2mths now. I had Billy the Betta for a year but gave him to my co-worker a couple weeks ago because he just wasn't happy sharing a tank.
