oh yea! one other thing...the strangest thing happened. I was out one
night and I had asked someone to check up on my fish...i call up to see
how things were, and they told me one of the bettas had somehow wound
up in another section of the tank.

Bettas can be amazingly resourceful when it comes to getting out of their
tanks. I have a mesh screen under the glass on one of my female tanks
because at least one of the little minxes will jump as soon as I take the
glass off. (One has survived a high dive from 5 ft).

My gender-confused erstwhile girl Sandra, now a handsome male plakat renamed
Ming the Merciless, accomplished a similar Houdini feat to your fellow, and
nearly killed my favourite turquoise crowntail -- hence the new name.
