Open Question: will my parents,mainly mom,continue to babysit everything i do even in college?

Hey,
I've had 2 male bettas in the past, (at separate times, I didn't keep them together). Both lived for only 8-9 months.They were in a 5 gallon tank, I cleaned their water once in 2 weeks, used de-chlorinators, anti bacterial drops, fed them once a day. They were happy fish, they built bubble nests and would flare at their reflections, they were active and everything was fine but they both passed away after 8-9 months.
I brought home a new male betta for Xmas, and I need help is to how I can make his life happier and healthier and help him live longer than 8-9months.
You need to know that where I live, there are no medicines available for fish ailments. There are very general medicines available which are not very effective. So pls give me some tips as to how I can keep my pet healthy and happy.
Thanks and Merry Xmas!

Resolved Question: will my parents, mainly mom, continue to babysit everything i do even in college?

i want to stay home for college and go to a community one to build my GPA (which isnt so bad) up and transfer to an honors program at the local university. The only problem is that my parents, mostly mom, will continue to treat me like a baby. Ive been asking all the time to let me get under the car insurance but my dad still didnt call and me not driving is getting in the way of my relationship. My mom yells at me to wake up early even on vacations and she expects me to give her respect but she can give me attitude, rudeness. She complained when i didnt have a job (its a school course) and now my dad is complaining that im working too much but it was the holidays! What do i do to let them know that I dont need to be babysit anymore because i am 17 almost 18 ?
