yes I did see his' before' pics.
if you keep the water clean and well filtered I'd start leaning towards a possible internal infection..I don't see any external signs but that definately does not eliminated internal infections.
bettas as you know are labrynth and are capable of breathing air (gulping air) from the surface. bettas alos do wel in warm water..remember they come from shallow waters (rice paddies) and like warm water.
75 is a bit chilly for the bettas you might try bumping the temp to around 80 see if he livens up.
one of my angel tanks dipped to 75 and the angels became lethargic.

LOL
bump the temp up and see how he responds it should be pretty quick.
raise the temp slowly over the course of the day.
if he is still unresponsive I would start looking at broadspectrum antibiotics maracyn and or maracyn2 . hard to tell with infections if it's gram positive or a gram negative bacteria.
