I noticed that he's having trouble coming up for air. He would try and try, each time with a mad dash, but just when he's almost at the top, he seems to lose strength and fall back down to the bottom at which point he would seem to be out of breath. He lives in a good environment and have been since I got him, so what does this mean. I have noticed that he's been inactive lately but I just thought he was getting old, but this behavior just doesn't seem natural. It's as if he can't swim any longer.
 
It sounds like he might have a parasite of some kind. Try finding a water treatment at the pet store or internet that's safe for Beta fish. Then again, he might just be getting old.
