I’ve just got a blue Betta fish. I had a Betta fish when I was a kid but I don’t really pay attention to it since I’m a cat lover. My mom just gave it to me because my eagerness to have a cat.

I’ve had my betta fish for over 2 years now, he was an adult when i got him
He’s lived in a heated and filtered aquarium that is about 5 gallons for that time, but i think he’s on his way out :(
He sits at the bottom all the time and doesnt have enough energy to swim to the top to get his food anymore! He’s losing his colour too.
Is there anything i can do for him, or do i just have to let nature run its course?
