Check the water chemistry for elevated ammonia or nitrite levels. Perform partial water changes until the ammonia or nitrites read 0 ppm. Next, check the water temperature. Bettas do best between 78F and 80F. Low temps can affect activity in fish. At 2 years old, he is quite old for a Betta. His behavior may be age related.
