Bout 20 years about I had 7 betta's that lived year round in gallon tea jars since a propane heater kept it warm enough in the winter and AC kept it from getting to hot in the summer. Back then I used some tricks I learned working in a pet shop that gave them all long full lives, but I don't remember what they where now. Know I did have 2 kitchen size trash cans I cured their water in and one I grew live brime shrimp for them in.
Fast forward to now back in the summer while up in the city I bought a betta at Petco. Then decided he needed a mate so I bought one at Walley World and later a female to put between them. They didn't get to visit all day, only for a while nightly. Then I saw one at Walley World that was in a very dirty cup, looked half dead and real ragged fins so I brought him home to try and save him or let him die in peace. Come to find out he is a CT instead of a VT and has made it several months since I bought him. His name has turned out to be FancyDan, while the first blue male I got is named DaddyO (pretty old when I bought him since he was full size), female is BlueGirl and the yellow/white one is KnightInWhiteSatin, he's quiet a show off.
They joined the rest of my crew living in the country-2 dogs, donkey & mule, 8 cats, rabbit and ***** that hang in the barn. Down sizing to things that are easier to haul food for in my older age

Stumbled on this forum to find out current info on betta's which is really nice. Hopefully the question I posted will be answered tonight since I need to do another water change tomorrow. Had to stop and feed the outside before it got real dark before this post, since I don't like being around the ***** in the dark. Never know if a sick one will attack or have rabies and I had to burry one last week. I've seen how one that was trained to attack acted years ago and I denfinately do not want to tangle with something like that in the dark.
