We got three last week (each had its' own bowl). One didn't make it past three days. She wouldn't eat at all, so I am guessing she wasn't healthy to begin with. Ended up getting a goldfish to replace that one since they just seem hardier and I didn't feel like doing another fish funeral. The Betta's just seem to lurk around, but the boys sure love them.
