Thanks for all the replies. I was wondering, ok so he is mad, why
doesnt he move around much any more? What is the life expentancy of a
beta?


Because they can get mad doesn't necessarily mean that it's so. I would
assume the problem was something else and go through the usual routine;
water tests, inspect for signs of disease, appetite etc. Life expectancy
in a heated tank is in the 5 to 6 year range (subtract one from before
you got him), and about 3 to 4 unheated (both figures as generally
reported, 7 years is also occasionally reported but more infrequent
lately). Genetics has a big influence, and I think shorter life
expectancies are becoming the norm.
