. I fed him everyday with special Betta food and tried to clean his vase about once a week. I had him for about 4 years before he died, but he was a classroom pet before I acquired him, so I'm not sure exactly how old he was.He was a really fun fish! When I would feed him, I would look at him through the glass of the vase and he would start flaring his gills until the food dropped into the water.He was pretty low maintenance and I would recommend a Betta to anyone who works a lot or can't spend much time at home. They don't require the attention that a dog or cat does.Since owning my Betta, I realized I had made a few mistakes with him. Bettas tend to be kept in small bowls, but in reality they should be kept in at least a 2 gallon or more tank to really thrive. They do love the live plants (which thankfully I was given), so that really is a must for your Betta to do well. I also learned that Bettas come from a warm climate and that you should invest in a heater for your tank. This was something that I never knew until I did the research. I will definitely own a Betta fish again and I highly recommend them as a great pet to others, but please be sure to research before you buy!!! I know I definitely will get all the facts straight before I own another one because above all else, I want my fish to be happy and healthy!
