He's still being Fred. Always on the lookout for food. I'm leaving the bubbles off most of the time because having current does make it harder for him to maneuver. Otherwise it's business as usual. He's getting no better and no worse. I'm feeding him a small amount of regular Betta food daily and he's not getting rounder so it must be going through. Mostly I started him on it again because I figured if he was going to die anyway, I might as well let him have the food he prefers - but in small amounts so it wouldn't make him miserable. He's holding his own for now. Everytime I check on him, I expect to see him floating dead or near death but he seems to be the same most of the time. Sometimes perkier than others, but that's how it was before too depending on the time of day and his mood. I'm glad to know him, I rarely meet anyone whose stubborness rivals my own LOL!
