    How long did you not feed him for? I haven't had to treat for swim bladder but it would be safe to not feed him for a few days.. it takes quite a while to starve a betta. 2-3 days wouldn't be a problem.

    2 days would be better I think. See if you can break up the pea and get him to eat some.. it's supposed to act like a fishy laxative.

    I think you mean 180 degree turn, unless he's at the same spot he started at.

    How about... Surviver or a name from the show Survivor? Because he did survive
