his been home with me for 3 days now and he seems to be getting sick. the water temp is at 24-26c. his fins appear to be clamped together and his lethargic. yesterday he was eating fine but now he wont eat. also this morning he was floating at the top but now his at the bottom of the tank. i have changed the water and it has conditioner in it. i thought it could be constipation since i havnt seen him poop yet and tried giving him a pea but he didn't seem interested. i don't want him to die on me since his my first Betta and iv been waiting for days to get him. i don't know what to do.
he looks a bit like the fish in this site.

You don't have to worry, he's absolutely fine, don't use any medications without knowing if he's sick for sure, you can do more harm then good with meds
Any fish, especially bettas take up to 10 days to get used to their environment
I just hope that you have him in an at least 2.5 gallon tank with filter and heater and a live plant
Hope that helps
good luck
