@michaelharley I have never seen a fish hammock before! It never occurred to me that fish need a fish nap every now and then too. This is great!

I had a betta in college.

@pabloniusmonk yeah most of my fish do not! Betta do... this one especially has a swim bladder issue that I think will never clear up so he's basically handicap. Cory catfish are weird derpy fish and will also just park themselves in weird spots.
