|| In really good conditions they can live over 5 years pretty easily. I
|| think the low estimate comes from lack of betta care knowledge. The
|| average person (with little or no fish keeping experience) is
|| encouraged to purchase a betta because they're "easy to keep and need
|| no special care". I fell for that back in the early days.
||
|| "He'll be happier in a tiny bowl", "just feed him these flakes", "he
|| doesn't need a heater", "change his water every couple of weeks."
|| With
|| all this BS flowing out of the mouths of store employees everywhere,
|| it's no wonder they only live a couple of years at best.

LOL!!!---exactly!!!
