My "stressed out" Pentecost ;-) Oct 23, 2004 9:24:01 GMT -5

Many of you have read about my Pentecost, a lily vase rescue that I've had for over a year now. He seems to possibly have a swim bladder issue, swimming sideways at times and dancing on his tail at others

He seems happy, is active (most of the time) but he does have some interesting behaviors.

I finally got (I think) a pretty good pic of him "lounging" on top of his Roman columns tank decoration. Since he's in a small (2 gallon capacity, but filled with slightly less) tank, I had taken this (rather disproportionately large) decoration out and replaced it with a smaller hidey....he got depressed, didn't eat and was very lethargic

. At the next water change I replaced his columns, he's been eating and lounging happily ever since

Let's just list the ones we still have: Moonie and Vi =)

That's a really cute pic abm.

I've never seen a betta do that before, although you can tell he sees you coming because of his dorsal fin standing straight up like that. I bet he was out of there very soon after that picture was snapped.

You know what? He stayed put! It was like he was dozing or something - sometimes he can be so still I have to watch and make sure he's breathing!
His fin always stands up like that...sort of the way he plops on his lounger there

Maybe he just knew I really wanted the pic so he stayed still this ONE time....

	After all this has past, I still will remain. After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain. Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again and there'll be beauty from pain. You will bring beauty from my pain.
