What is the average life span of a betta fish?

I have been 'taking care' of Blanco for 14 months now...he's probably about 2 yrs old or so....not sure if he's in a 1/2 gallon or 1 gallon bowl...he's in my kitchen & mainly floats around, but swims around more once his bowl is cleaned out, usually twice a week...got some brown & white stones at the bottom & a fake plastic plant in there..I feed him betta-min tropical medley...when I wake up in the morning & he sees me, he comes right up and looks right at me til I put some food in his bowl...actually, we think he's a female...

I affectionately call him 'stupid fish' but would seriously miss the little bugger if he weren't around...would most likely replace him with another...

i had a betta fish and it lived 19 days in a 2 gallon tank. i fed it every day the way i was supposed to but it still died even though i think it was a girl and it was old when i got it.

I have had a beta sitting on my desk at work for 2 1/2 years now. The co-worker that had him before me had him on her desk for 1 1/2 years and got tired of him. Other than the exercise he gets when little kids spin his 1 gallon bowl out of control, he is quite dormant.... I can't possibly imagine another 4+ years! Oh well he has it good.

I have Had 4 betta fish in the past year, i am problably not the best fish owner but they are mediumly cared for not bad not the best but medium care can give you probably 3-4 years hope fully. Minor care shouldd give you 1-2 yars. Major Care Should Give You 4-6+ Years
