I just want to share something about my betta, Cloudy. He’s been with me for 1 year and 1 month now. I got him when he was around 2 months old, he was so tiny and completely white back then now he is purple.
From the start, I gave him everything I could. I’ve had bettas before, and I didn’t want him to end up like them, so I really tried to do everything right this time. Clean water, proper feeding, watching his behavior closely… I even spent almost every day with him.
I know it might sound too much to some people, but I’ve cancelled trips just to stay home with him. I know bettas don’t live very long, so I wanted to make the most out of the time he has. He’s really important to me.
Whenever there were water interruptions and I couldn’t do water changes, I would panic a lot because I was scared it might affect him. I just wanted everything to be perfect for him.
But now I can’t stop thinking… 1 year feels so short. I really thought he would live longer. I keep wondering if I did something wrong, or if I could’ve done more.

Unfortunately bettas are very poorly bred and sometimes just have a terrible life span. You did right by him by loving him so much.
He had the best year ever with you ❤️ it never feels like enough. I had 1-3 months with certain bettas even though I tried my hardest and gave them great tanks and food. He loved you in his sweet fishy way.
