Today is a very sad day. Mr. McAwesomepants the blue veil tail betta that my girlfriend gave to me for my birthday 2 years ago just passed. That little guy got me into fishkeeping and was by far the fish that held the biggest place in my heart. I am quite lost without him, its made even tougher by the fact that he is the first fish that I've lost.
How long do Betta`s normally live for? Sorry to hear, always sucks when a favorite fish gives up the ghost.
