Im not sure why he is hiding, he used to be the dominant figure in the tank but now he only comes up for food! Why is he hiding?

Nu-Nu the eel said:Whenever one of my fish is about to die he hides under a rock or in an ornimant. Its sad

I had a Pearl in my 90g, but was a bully to most of the other fish his size or bigger.
So I moved him to my smaller well planted tank with the schools of glass catfish and jumbo cardinal neon tetras. It has less hiding spots, but darker and more seclusive, seeing as it's a store bought ornament. He's been hiding most of the time since I put him in there a few months ago. Sometimes comes to roam and hang out, always comes up for food, but just likes hanging out in the tunnels with the catfish.
He seems happier with his own designated hideouts
