I have owned a betta fish for 8 years now, In case you didnt know a Betta is a large colorful freshwater ray-finned fishe in the gourami family (Osphronemidae).
oh wow i didnt know they can live that long. I have one at the office thats a year old and i was guessing it would die soon
Oh thats sad, But with good care they can live up to 10 years in some cases. 
why is that sad? I feed it and take care of it, I just didnt think it would live as long as it has.
I meant that its sad that it is about to die, My bettas have shown all kinds spawning of weird behaviour: some of em build bubble nests that are called. splendens,
