Do you have a filter? How big is the tank? Most tanks do well with 50% water change weekly. Bettas seem to live on average 2-3 years though a hearty and well cared for Betta can live 3-5 from what I understand.

With our Betta we did a water change ever week to week and a half. He lasted for about a year.

Hi!
What size tank?
Bettas do much better in heated and lightly filter tanks. Without a filter (depending on the tank size) you are looking at 100% water changes every 1-3 days to keep him healthy. Any longer then this and ammonia will build causing him to become ill.
Please read this and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask!
