poor guy is staying in the trees so to speak. last week my hubby noticed that he was on the bottom like a stone, would strive to get to the top for air in his bowl and then would instantly sink right back down. furthermore, he has very poor control and the water, even after two changes in a week, was fouling quite rapidly.

We put the little blue guy in our large aquarium where a plecostamus has recently uprooted a large plant and found this betta really liked to hang out up in the tree near the surface. So, we took a small piece of the plant, put him and it in a breeder container and floatefd them along in the nice and toast 83 degree water aquarium.

he's happier, but not normal still. what shoudl we do? if we try the pea thing helping the oft spoken about swim bladder issue, what kind of pea would we need?
