Hi, my name is Danielle and I've recently become interested in bettas. I bought my first one about six months ago, but he has since passed away. I think when i bought him he was already sick. His fins were torn up and he just looked kinda ragged. I've done alot of research on the internet, but don't really know what's legit and what's not. Alot of these sites I'm visiting have conflicting info. But anyway, my real reason for posting is because I've bought a new betta. He's probably between 1-1.5 inches and is a crowntail. Now my thing is, I chose him because he wasn't as large as the other ones and I'm hoping he may be sorta young and still growing. Is there any way possible to guess a betta's age? And can I get him to grow as big as some of the ones I see online and also in the pet stores? (I didn't want to get the really big ones because I figured they were kinda old). But anyway advice would be nice! Thanks in advance!
