How long do male Betta fish usually live for?

Male bettas only live about 2-3 years in good conditions!That means one that is not being bred.Breeding will beat the life right out of your bettas.Plenty of live food will help expand the life of any Freshwater Fish. Also,If you love your pet and want him or her to live a long happy life i suggest at least a 10 gallon tank for all betta species! Male Betta fish live alone and should't be in the same tank.
