Is that the kind you have? They're a brackish fish and get pretty big. Do you have him in brackish water? If not, that could be a reason he's stopped eating.

Water parameters would also help everyone.

yes it is the same one. iv read that you can keep them in freshwater on many forums. I only have a ph testing kit and it about 6.8. the tank has been running for 2 years now and all the other fish are happy. i keep up with my weekly water changes. maybe it needs a bit of salt. i can do that with my 65 gal cause it haas no plants
