it's been almost a week now. He got scared pretty good last week when i made a sudden movement (by accident of course) and since then he hasn't been too active and haven't shown any interest in food. I tried pellets, frozen shrimp, and mealworms. I wasn't overly worried before, cause this happened before, but i'm a tad worried now.

Usually he jumps at the shrimp in my hand before I even get the chance to throw it into the tank, it just worries me how he can go from being crazily hungry for the food to no interest at all.

I've kept the lights off since the day he got scared, cause i'm assuming he's pretty stressed out from it. The only light the tank gets is from sunlight through the blinds.

What do you guys suggest I do? I thought about throwing in some feeders to get him eating again, but that's my last resort.
 
1.. light is good for your fish
2.. live food
roseys, gupies and golds, small frogs and mice, depending on size
crickets also, but use only as last resort
