Behavioural change?

Many of the Geophagines (and this includes Acarichthys) are social fish, which like to live in shoals with members of their own species, if kept separately they can become either hyper dominant, or extremely paranoid. Your fish is very young, so it is simply showing signs of dominance.
Acarichthys are actually thought to be on the aggressive side, as far as Geophagines go, especially in any tank under 6ft .

Add some dither fish(giant danios, silver dollars). That might perk him up. They are much faster and hard for him to catch.
Ohhh. But wont that make the dithers more stressful to live in there?

Not to belittle the value of a dither fish but they will adapt... and after awhile the cichlid will give up chasing them
