Water temp may be the big problem at 69F-I would also start making some 100% water changes on the unfiltered container-don't change the water temp too fast-this needs to be done slow over a couple of hours since he is weak and get the water temp up to at least 76F

By your post-to make sure I understand-he will be going in a 5g divided tank with another male Betta- that is filtered and heated correct?
