first pic is him in good health, second is how i came home to him today. noticed this morning he was behaving unusually, very lethargic when this is normally by far my most active fish. he wasnt interested in eating at all and i do mean even remotely interested…. left for work and when i got back, he was sitting in the same spot as this morning but his mouth looks noticeably different. SOMETHING is going on and i lost my last betta who i loved very much to some kind of illness that came on rapidly, i dont want to see the same happen to my baby panda

Have you tested your water recently?
Is he constipated?
If his mouth is looking really weird it could be mouth rot/fungus (Columnaris)
It could also be parasites
I would monitor and try to match symptoms to possible causes
