is my betta healthy?

Hey everyone, I'm getting a bit worried about my betta Musa - he's just not himself lately. I'm no expert, so I thought I'd ask for some help identifying if there's something wrong with him.

His tank's a 5-gallon, pretty densely planted with some amano shrimp and assassin snails to keep him company ...
