Thanks for reaching out about FinTin Tarantino. Betta fish can be lethargic for multiple reasons. First check and correct water quality for pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Trying a different brand of food, as nutrients break down over time. New containers of food should be sought every 3 months. If offer floating pellets, try sinking pellets and visa versa. The next concern is he could be sick. A veterinary visit is needed to diagnostic and treatment plans. Good luck.
