Well, here's mine. I know it's fairly plain, but they seem to like it that way. We had more stuff in it, but the fish kept moving it out of the way. Little interior decorators I guess.

Well, we got 3 of em. Two in the tank I showed ya, one in a second. (He's a bully)
They range from about 6 inchs to 9 inches.
First one we named Floyd (cause he's pink)
We decided we needed a friend for Floyd so we got a second. Named him Friend.
Wife wanted 3 for cosmetic reasons. Got a third and wanted a "F" name. Say hello to Flipper.
(Got 2 playcos. First one was so big he looked like a monster. Hence Frank. Friend is the bully with his own tank. When we put the 2nd playco with him, he was named Foe.)

they are both glass bowl..plain...have glass marbles in each...that is it. They are both in rooms on the same side of the house in fairlycomparable locations. I always wash the bowls and the marbles for both and use tap water that has sat out in a pitcher declorinating.

Hmmmmm...intersting
Have ya tried swapping the fish into the other fishes bowl....if the same fish stuffs up the bowl thats usually clean then he just may produce more crap and body slime than the other....If the fish that is normally in the clean bowl finds himself floating in fish spoo *LOL*...then its something in that bowl
Dont be tempted to clean the bowls completely too often....just take half the water out and replace it.....everytime you completely empty it you stress the fish and you'll end up with a microbe explosion
Besides the Betta is an airbreather....so he is able to survive in a bit dirtier water than other non labyrinth fish

Clean them both at the same time and switch locations. That can eliminate one possibility.
If consistent-
Clean them both at the same time and switch only the fish. This should determine if it's nature or nurture.
