It's possible the pot is leaching harmful material into the bettas water. Without knowing things we can't know (like the exact mineral content of the clay used to make the pot) it's impossible to say for certain that is what is happening. I would suggest moving him to another container asap with clean water. Even something like a glass bowl or large drinking glass from the kitchen can hold him until tomorrow and will prevent the possibility of contamination. I wouldn't even try to feed him in a small container for the day. No food will not harm him and it will help prevent the build up of ammonia in the container.

it may be sick... however my beta was old when he did that. Also it might be the pot he's in or he might have fought with anything from his reflection the wall or another fishie
