can a betta live? The average life span of a betta is 2-3 years. If the environment and food are good, it can live for about 4-5 years. In the first year, it is the most ornamental. After two years, there will be signs of aging, and the ornamental value will be reduced. To keep bettas alive, try to reduce the number of times they reproduce, because bettas that have not mated will live longer than those that have mated many times, and males generally live longer than females.
