Hi,
All of a sudden my betta started acting weird. Checked water parameters, all looks good. He was eating, making his nest, and life was good until about two days ago when he stopped being as active. He ate one pellet today but otherwise uninterested in food and not as active. Any thoughts? TIA!!

The tank size is 5.5 gallons. Attached is a picture of the water testing I did. I have had the tank for about 6 months running, the fish about three or four months. I change the water once a week (take out about 20% with a suction and fill with clean, treated water). No tankmates. Feed him about 10 pellets a day ( 5 two times a day). One plant now (one recently died). I use natural light only (no lamp lights) and a heater that heats the water to about 77 degrees on average.
Hi OP, I can’t see the pic of the water parameters so I’m not sure if it didn’t upload properly or if it’s just an issue on my side. Has anything changed in your routine these past few days? I know my fish got really depressed when I started working, so I had to move his tank out of my bedroom so he could people watch. Also, I can’t really tell from the pics, but is he maybe bloated? That could certainly cause a decrease in energy too. Otherwise, until I can see the parameters, I’m not too sure what might be going on with him.
