A Tail Question

[overmoon]

Greetings all~
Up until 10 months ago I had never had fish ~ then I fell head over heels for a betta ~ which I named "Luna" ~ sadly he is no longer with me ~ but I do have 4 others (Fancy, Skittles, Sunny, Wally) I think 3 are crown tails ~ but I do not know what the fourth one is?
Also ~ how long do they live?
And ~ is breeding difficult?
Any thoughts/help/ideas/etc would be appreciated

Just wanted to say I think your over-feeding your bettas a bit much, there bellies are really swollen. Otherwise they look great!

Welcome! Looks like they are all CT's to me. However, the last one does have a long tail that flows more than the others... maybe CT/VT. Don't hold me to that though, because that stuff confuses me.
Average lifespan of a betta is about 3 years.... However, it seems that the typical lifespan of say a betta from a LFS is more 1 or 2 years....
Breeding takes a lot of research, time, and money.... It is not something to be jumped into.... There are several great websites that can provide you with detailed info on breeding.
