Betta is not eating, stays at the top in one place. We cleaned out his tank on day and he jumped out and landed on the shaggy bathroom carpet, we caught him and put him back. He seemed shocked, but hasn’t eaten. That was 3 days ago, he seems to be swimming around fine when visited with, but will not eat.
Spits out or swims away from it.
He has a glowing strip above his mouth,but my daughter says that has always been there.
His face is pink while most of the time it is bluish.
His eyes are fine and
His fins are fine and well functioning. However, his top fin is rather droopy.
What do you think?

Although, it’s a bit difficult to determine what’s wrong not being able to witness your Betta in person it does sound like he’ll be ok from everything you’ve stated about this physical state. Betta are known to jump out of their tanks occasionly. I had one jump out of tank in the office and I didn’t find him until monday morning!! He then continued to live for 4 years! So dont’ worry, they’re pretty tough fish.
As for the eating, you can try to feed him different types of food. Although ‘live’ food are very popular among Betta fish you may want to try flakes or pellets. Ask for a sample from your local pet store and tell them you only want to test it to see if your betta will eat it. Hopefully, this will determine what he will or will not eat. Sounds likely a picky Betta. Its been known to happen. So stick with it and all the best of luck to you.
