I would say 5 years is probably the max... I've seen a 5 year old betta once, and it wasn't in the greatest shape.

Expect 2-3 years from yours

Of all the betta's that I have owned, most of them lived to be 3.
One of them nearly made it to 4, but died a week shy of his birthday

2-4 yrs.

Im pretty sure they can laster 2-5(6?) years with great care. I know someone whose kept theirs for 5 years, with the fact that when he got it, it was already about 1.5 years old.
