What In The World

okay, so.... my betta has no good reason to be the way he is, but... here's what's going on. i've got him in a 10g tank by himself, he's been in there for about 3 weeks. Up until about 4 days ago he was absolutely fine... swimming around happily and trying to build nests, the whole deal. Then he started to spend a lot of time at the bottom of the tank, which didn't really register until i noticed he was on the bottom everytime i looked in the tank. so i've done partial water change, made sure there aren't any reasons for him to be uncomfortable. Stress Coat, enzymes, and aquarium salt, just like everything was when he started out so well, but still, he's very unactive and just disinterested in everything other than food. he is eating normally. the only thing i've noticed besides this is he has lost a lot of color right around his gills and under his mouth.... almost white. i just can't figure it out. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Is the 10 gallon tank filtered? If not, you need to be doing frequent water changes. What is the temperature and all the other vital statistics?

How long have you had the betta? Maybe he was already old when you bought him.
