I would assume that there is something wrong with its water or conditions. The basic rules for keeping any fish are as follows. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (Bettas are 3 gallon fish no matter what the profiteers say) Every tank needs a permanently running filter. :- Every tank need to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. If your Betta is kept in the above conditions it will be OK. Any less water or the lack of a filter and the required water changes and I can guarantee it is only a matter of time before your Betta gets very sick and dies.

What kind of food can you feed your Betta if he will not eat the pellets or the flakes and lets them sink to the bottom?

There is betta food on the market, and if you should purchase this food the fish is not going to gulp this down right away. Bettas do not eat like we do, they go for days without eating it is best not even to try to feed a betta every day, one way to know if a betta is hungry or other fish is too watch them in there habitat, if the betta or your other fish are around the top and very active drop some food in, if they or it is just taking life easy do not feed them or it.
