experience with aging betta fish

[luminor]

Hey there,

So I've had my betta Aztec for around 4 years now - I'm guessing he was about a year old when I got him, and I was just curious...

What's the age of your oldest betta?

I'm a total newbie, only started buying betta 3 months ago, but I did see one at a local fish store that really caught my eye - it was 7 years old.

From what I gathered online a few months back, the average lifespan is around 3-5 years, so 4 years is pretty impressive for Aztec.
