Petco find!

[fishnatics]

Went to petco to get some freeze and frozen bloodworms and I decided to check out their fish selection. I was amazed to find these. A king betta $12.99 and a red dragon scale halfmoon betta $9.99. I also picked up a Anubias plant for only $4.99! I couldn't resist so I took both bettas home. Sometimes when you least expect it, you find good deals. Just wanted to share.

Great pickup purchased all my plants from Petco just make sure their tanks are clear of snail eggs. I buy the plants off the shelf also.

Is it true even with the best care that betta fish only live to 5 years?

Thanks. I'm really digging the red.

I really don't know their life span.

Maximum lifespan for a betta is about 10 years, but your average pet store betta probably has more like 3-5 years left. They aren't always the best stock, and they've been alive for a bit already.
