My betta often swims through the current as well. It's hilarious when he tries chomping food that's mobile in the current, often he misses, snapping nothing but water, but he does some serious acrobatics sometimes - flippin' and floppin' every which direction.

My daughter's betta could easily be mistaken for a blue dust bunny. When he was in the betta bowl, he would just lay on the bottom. I thought maybe he needed more room, so I got him a 1.5 gallon hex tank complete with bubbler and filter. He promptly settled himself on top of the plastic plant in the middle. Then I thought maybe he was lonely. I put a neon tetra and a zebra danio in there with him. They're best buds. They have parties, but the dust bunny betta sleeps through it all. I have to tap on the tank to let him know that I've thrown food inside. Then he goes,
"Huh? Duhhh... okay..." ~swim~ chomp ~swim~ ".....zzzzzzzz."

When she got him, she named him "Riptide." Now his name is "Rip van Winkle."

i just added a 2nd hob filter to my 30 gallon tank just because it was free and.. well why not... turns out the thing is a MONSTER. a couple days ago i went to feed the fish, and i caught my glowlight tetras literally in a line, one by one jumping into the current of the new filter, swimming in place frantically for a few mins, then swimming away, then the next one would hop in, until they all went through lol it was freakin funny!
