Nice of you to rescue...he is doing great now! Lol love to watch them chase the shrimp. Mine is very interactive as well...loves begging for food! Also loves following us from one side of his tank to the other in the morning waiting for breakfast

This is more of a possible injury concern than sickness that has come upon my betta. He is the sole inhabitant of his...
As far as how deep you want your substrate for rooting, I agree that 2" or even less is sufficient for anchoring plants. With that depth it will also capture plenty of waste to fertilize your greens. Aesthetically I prefer less substrate as well.
