Both of my boys live in a 5 gallon fish tank (separated of course...). They were living in a 2.5 gallon though, I switched them to a larger one just because of my preferences. My oldest is over 2 and my youngest is about 1 year or so. When I clean them I put something called Betta Conditioner in, I'm not sure if its required or not though. I've never heard of any sort of tablets. My Bettas eat betta pellets and blood worms, I can't think of the pellets brand name at the moment though. I hope that helped some, there are many more people here who have a lot more experience with bettas than I do so hopefully they'll reply...

I just put Wardley's Chlor-out drops in my tanks. Cool water. I feed pellets and krill mostly. If they died within a few weeks they were probably diseased to begin with. They live for two years, but most store bought bettas are already middle-aged.
