I have a small 10 gallon
fish tank in my bedroom. Inside it has a Betta I have had for a long
time.(I will tell you how long later in the story)I received the betta
after I noticed it at a wedding. My little Brother happened to see them
too. The poor betta was in a small bowl with plants in it. The bowl
was probably less than half a gallon. Me and my little brother asked
about it and the bride and groom told us to take two one for me, and
one for my little brother. I kept the betta in a ten gallon tank in
my room. My little brothers betta got a smaller 7 gallon tank for his
room. My little brothers fish died within 6 months. My fish stayed alive
a lot longer I keep cichlids in a 200 gallon tank in our large sunroom
and so far I haven't had one live as long as this betta and my cichlids
get old. Okay the fish is 6 years old. Double the normal lifespan of
one. Notice I use present tense because it is still alive in my room.
I have no Idea how it has lived this long but it has. It has to be the
most amazing fish I have had because never in my 14 years of living
have I seen a betta live this long. The bettas name is chester and stays
alive but does not apear as healthy as he used to be. But the only problem
I have seen so far is that he swims very stiffly.
