Juvi ahli. Has refused all of the foods he had been eating for over a month. Has not eaten in a week. Getting thin. Grabs food. Chews it. Spits it out.

Because he's still interested in food I'm thinking he just doesn't like the taste anymore?
 
Without more information like what type of food its being fed, tankmates, or water conditions it sounds like a symptom of Bloat.
 
Well I said he was getting thin so...bloat? Someone suggested some meat like cooked shrimp. Happened to have some in the freezer. Fed him a few tiny shreds and he actually swallowed his food. He went mad for it really.
 
I said he's getting thin so...bloat? Someone some cooked shrimp. I gave him a small amount and he finally swallowed. I'll get him fed with this but this is not a complete diet...

Refused 2 different kinds of pellet. Flake and algae flats that he used to eat.
