I would suggest you watch him carefully for any signs of parasites such as ich or velvet. You may also offer him a variety of foods to see if you can perk up his activity level.

Some betta fish get stressed out(ex. sudden movement). This also happened to me. I asked one of my teachers(i m studying to be a vet) and they said it needs a larger tank. Mine was in a 5.9 gallon tank. Try to move up to something a little larger. Put in some fake plants. Vary the diet. Try a 10 gallon tank.
