Like the title says I have had this 6 line for probably 7-8 months who has actually been a model citizen. I shreaded him probably 2 months ago in a powerhead when feed mode ended cause he was in it doing his normal 6 line thing exploring small spaces. But he's been healed up for a long time now and I manually do feed mode on and off now lol. He normally eats like a pig but today didn't take a bite either time I fed which I thought was odd. He swam up to the top but never grabbed anything and now hes just hiding. I am concerned obviously but see no spots or anything visible wrong with him and haven't added a fish in months. I am just looking for opinions do I wait it out and see how he is doing over the next few days or do I pull him out and try to treat? If so with what since I have absolutely no idea what is wrong?

It's been 2 off now, didn't eat this morning or like a half hour ago when I tried to feed. No change in food, I alternate between pellets and mysis every other.
