With proper care, the average is about 4 to 5 years. What you do need to remember is that when you first buy a betta, particularly the males (with the pretty fins) is that they are already 2 years old.

∙ 14y agoWell just like people fish are all different. And so some live a lot longer than others. From the Killie fish that, in some species, live only a couple of months to the Sturgeon that can live as long as us(and sometime longer!) There are a few that are around in captivity that are reported to live as long as 90 years and more! Just like with us, a lot depends on the fishes lifestyle. Diet, exercise, genetics and location play a big part in how long a fish lives. For instance, a lot of people think that goldfish don't live that long, but that is only because most people don't take care of goldfish properly as they need a lot of care. But if you take care of them the way they need and they are not fish that have been overly inbred(feeder or most carnival fish) they can live up to 20 or 30 years!
