Betta is lethargic and has his fins clamped i bought a lovely betta last week and for 2 days he became lethargic refusing to eat his fins appear to be clamped and sits either hiding between rocks or at the top of the aqauarium near the heater its a 60 litre tank and i have other fish in the tank which seem to be okey.

Poor water quality is the most likely cause after shipping and being kept in small cups. Check out the video. He spit out some of his food but he ate a bloodworm i gave him.
