I purchased two different female bettas from PetSmart on two different occasions and each one only lived about 6 weeks. I didn't overfeed them. I make sure the tank was clean. I am really bummed that they both died and it happened pretty quickly. They went downhill fast. I read it's possible there is such a thing as having too large a tank. Mine was 5 gallons. Is that true? edit: I see there was a question about bettas. Mine is more about having done everything right, so I thought, but having them die anyway.

I did a lot of reading about it and also asked at the store and I was told they are very sensitive to currents, very much so, and any current in the water will stress them out.

I understand. I just don't want to do anything wrong. I will use a filter. It can't hurt, right?? And will hopefully make a difference this time.

You do realize bettas breathe air?

I will buy one today, thanks!
