Betta - Weird Behavior

[user2704]

Hello,
 
My Betta is somewhat lethargic, I mean he's not sitting at the bottom of the tank but he's not active (or outgoing), he prefers (mostly) to sit on top of a plastic region from the pump/filter system (calm water there and lower lightning), though he moves through the aquarium from time to time.
 
He doesn't seem to be aware of the surroundings, it's like he's a bit high, he ignores the ambient, moves a bit slowly and recently he doesn't seem to eat (I don't know if he ignores the food or doesn't see it).
 
Also I didn't see any feces from him (making or on the ground).
 
To sum up:
 - he's apathetic
 - doesn't eat
 - stays more at  the surface (but has no problem going at the bottom)
 - doesn't poop
 - no awareness?
 - he does not have raised scales
 
He has a varied diet:

- http/www.tetra.net/en/en/aquaristik/tropical-fish/food/specific-food/tetra-betta
- http/www.amazon.co.uk/Tetra-Freshdelica-Bloodworm/dp/B009PN8IIE (fed only once)
 
I have him in the aquarium for almost 3 weeks, I did plenty of water changes and parameters are stable but he seemed more active at first.
I have attached pictures with him then and now.
 
What can I do to make his life better?
 
Thanks

In the first photo he looks a bit bloated.

I wonder if the current and light are too bright.
 
I am not a fan of the food you are feeding him, New Life Spectrum or Omega one betta pellets are better for him.
