I will try to make a long story short.
I have bought a Betta male 7 month ago. He was alone in one aquarium (so no external 'influence').
He was very active.
Two month ago, suddenly, his appetite dropped dramatically (from very good to almost nothing in 2-3 days). No external signs on his body. Tried changing the water completely (no change).
Over the last 2 months, his situation changed in bad.
Now, he is not eating at all (and by not eating I mean nothing).
More, he is not active any more; laying on leafs, on bottom of aquarium, on water surface.
The last thing I have observed is that the front part of his body has lost colour. His body is blue; the head is now brown-blue.
He really seems suffering. His eyes have lost the sparks he used to have..

Please help me with some advice. I am thinking he is just aging (although the signs were a little to fast), but I just want a confirmation.

Thank you a lot!
