Did you know that a beta fish or Siamese Fighting fish can live over a week without eating? Not terribly useful but it’s true and pretty interesting. I’ve unfortunately had the opportunity to try it out myself too. I have a beta and was gone for 10 days. My coworkers said they would feed him while I was gone but when I got back, I found out they forgot to feed him and only fed him twice the whole time I was gone. He was just fine though and is still healthy a year later. I also read this bit it trivia on several web sites about betas. They are really tough fish given how fragile they look. They can also handle major temperature swings and don’t need any aeration in their water. I’ve had many kinds of tropical fish and none of them have lived as long nor were as easy to care for as my beta is.
