I had this happen last year with my betta, I saw you broke him out, so that’s good! As long as you dose the tank with melafix/bettafix (they’re basically the same thing as far as I’m aware) and aquarium salt, he should be okay. It took like 6ish weeks for my guy’s scales to heal up, so it takes time, but he should be okay. Keep an eye on him and it’ll be okay.

My guy looks almost identical and got stuck in the tube part of his sponge filter a couple weeks ago. I was at work when it happened and have no idea how, but he must’ve REALLY wanted in there. Maybe they’re just a super ornery breed😅

Could you try to break it if it’s like a clay pot.
Break it
Once you get him out dose with aquarium salt and some seachem stress guard. It will help him heal and keep him from getting other infections.
Oh man I had to break it open with a hammer. I’ll be shocked if he survives this. That was stressful for everyone involved
