It's A New Year for Betta Lovers!

Actually it's a new year for everyone, but we're more important aren't we? =)

To help kick start the new year I thought I'd start a poll. You can find it in the left column of the blog. Now, we all know there is a HUGE number of people who love Betta fish, but just how many fish does each person own? That's this months poll question: How many betta fish do you own?

Take the poll and Let us know. I've always been quite curious. I'm going to assume for those that aren't breeding betta, most people will own at least 1 or 2. If I have to choose I'm going to say just 1. What's your guess? Take the poll and find the answer!

That's it for now. Happy New year and all the best to all my fellow betta fish enthusiasts!

My Betta Fish Just Reached 4 Years!

Well my blue Betta fish, whom I call Red, has turned 4 years old as of this morning September 3, 2007. Not too bad for the lone Betta fish that sits on my desktop. He use to have company, but they've all moved out or have moved on to the great fish aquarium in the sky. As a huge lover of Betta fish I just thought I'd share the news with you all considering the average lifespan of a well cared for Betta fish is about 2-3 years. And the best part? He still continues to build pretty decent size bubble nests. Keep on trucking Red!

So what's the longest your Betta fish has lived for? For me this would be the longest so far. Leave a comment and let us know how old your Betta is!
