To the best of my knowledge no one keep those kind of records. Bettas are mature at 12 months, past their prime at 2 years old and ancient fish at 4 if they live that long.

I have a Betta fish that is now over 5 years old because I change the water once a week with 2 gallons of purified water and I add about 20 drops of Splendid Betta Complete Water Conditioner to it. Using the water conditioner is a MUST to ensure that your Betta fish will live a very long life. I also feed my Betta fish 4 pellets of Hikari Betta Bio Gold once a day in the morning and 1 pellet at around 7pm.

No, Bettas actually have something called a labrinthiform organ behind their gills. This allows them to store some oxygen, and they tend to gulp air from the surface.

How much are heaters for fish tanks?

Heater/thermostat units come in many sizes. I have found that pet shops charge far too much for them here in Australia so I always buy mine off the web. for example a 300 watt heater/thermostat at the local pet shop was $Aus98.00 +. On the web after searching a bit, the identical heater/thermostat cost me $Aus35.00.including postage. My advice is to google and look around and compare prices.

Do betta fish need light at night?

No, bettas, like all living animals, need the regular cycle of night and day. Bettas also usually relax/sleep during the night because they feel like they're in a cave and more secure. Constant light can be stressful for the fish. Even in the day, do NOT keep them in direct sunlight as this will cause the temperature to flunctuate (very stressful) or overheat, as well as promote algae growth.

No, they do not need light at night, they enjoy light but, do not keep them too close to the sun as, this may cause discomfort. They are quite easy to care for, as long as they are provided a clean environment and are fed once a day. They can live for years and years! It is usually 3-4 in a bowl and in a tank 7-8. Have fun with your betta!
