Google said it was dropsy, now scared as shit.

I probably flashbanged my Betta(The first three are the ones from day 2-5(My betta is a fish in cycle)) the last is from day 6. I sent it to Google ai and it said that he probably has a head injury or disease, I just here to see if it's actually correct and if so, what should I give him?

I built a tank that was meant for shrimp, my mom bought a betta for a 0.5 gallon tank, I asked whether I should cycle the tank first but keep the betta in the .5 or do a fish-in-cycle in the bettafish subreddit and they answered the latter. Now I'm stuck with a betta fish. No testers, no heater (the climate in my region of the world ranges from 25° to 30°C), and the Betta is glass surfing and sitting on substrate. I am using a sponge filter, water conditioner, and beneficial bacteria whilst handling the bioload of a Betta. An extra question from me also. How long would it take for me to add shrimp to this tank?

He rubs his nose to the reflection, with wrathful intent.

I had moved this betta fish after asking my mom for me to take it out of its 0.5 gallon to a still-cycling 5 gallon. She agreed, infact she encouraged me to move it to a new abode. Problem is that I feel that the fish is panicking and he sometimes does this... Upside down leaf thing and stays there for a moment then moves to wherever(usually near my hornworts or substrate). Is this normal for a newly moved Betta?

My mother bought a betta for a 0.5 gallon tank. I have a 5 gallon of my own but it's just beginning to cycle(Barely 2 days in) although I did see some Copepods and Assasin snails that hitched a ride when I bought some plants. The problem also is that it's a tank meant for shrimp, not a Betta(I still have to know his mood before I put shrimp in because it's either that or it's an extinction event for the shrimp). Do I put the Betta now or should I wait a week or two and or when the shrimp have established themselves in the tank. Which is risky because the last betta my mother put in that 0.5 gallon tank died after 2-3 weeks.

Sorry if it's grainy.

I have yet to take the plants off their pots since I'm really scared into doing something wrong and killing them, the water above is due to me putting a plastic cover on my water since where I live,bugs rule the neighborhood with an iron fist. I'm still cycling it but wondering if whether the shrimp will even like these since my parents think its overcrowded. This tank is probably one of the worst you'll see.
