Why is my betta fish inactive and just sitting at the bottom?

Question

My fish is super inactive. It’s a rose tail or rose petal betta. He just sits at the bottom. How do I help him? Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male

Check the water temperature. Bettas are tropical fish and do best between 78F and 80F. Low temps can affect activity in fish. If temperature is normal, check the water chemistry and perform a water change if necessary. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock.
