Im not saying it is but it could be early fin rot or a swimbladder infection

What should I do?

>>2328439
Look up how to treat those diseases you drangus. I remember aquarium salts help promote gill and fin healthiness.

looks fine.

what's he doing that's strange?

>>2328449
Less active, staying to one corner of his tank. He is still eating though.
He is in a 5 gallon, heated, filtered tank. Aquarium salt and aquasafe treated water.

Is he constipated? Try feeding him a tiny piece of a pea, or let him fast for a day

>>2328469
He might be. I will try fasting him a day and if that doesn't help I will try a pea. Thank you!

How is the temp? pH levels? Ammonia? Nitrates? He looks fine to me. Has his color dulled? What do you feed him and how much? Above anon mentioned fin rot, can't say for sure since it's hard for me to tell in some bettas that naturally have jagged fins. Is he swimming normally when he does swim around? If he had a bladder disease he should be at the top and have difficulty swimming down.

It's not uncommon for bettas to stay in one spot to rest, sometimes they even lie on their sides on plants. He looks fine to me, really.

This, they do sleep a little unusual compared to some fish. You might want to buffer his filter flow a little too if you haven't already, they don't like stong currents and he could be tired.
