What happened was I dropped food in, and the next morning (today), he was just sitting in the same place food not eaten. I poked him with a Turkey Baster, and he was off. He ate. May have been sleeping.

I once came back from a vacation late at night to see all of my cichlids lying on the ground. I assumed they were dying and was in full panic mode, but it was too late at night for me to do anything.
It wasn’t until morning that I realized they were sleeping.:duh:
Fish like to scare us.

Do you guys think I should cut down on the 2-3 feedings per day. He has became less and less interested in food, and everytime I go up there to feed him, he eats 2 pellets and hides away. Btw, he eats full pellets without any trouble. Tetras are acting weird, probably shaken up by the wc. They keep hiding when I come in, but still eat.

You can probably start cutting down. You can get away with once a day probably.
Really as long as you keep him well fed enough to not eat the tetras less feedings would be fine.

So...A CT died. Idk why. Fed them the morning of New Years, and came up to feed sparks and the CT’s, and Sparky had the second largest Tetra in its mouth. THE SECOND LARGEST. I belive it died before, and sparky grabbed it. It didnt float. I was very fond of that tetra. Should I rehome?
 
Sorry to hear.
It could have just wound up getting sick and dying before. I would wait to see if sparky tries to get another one. If it happens again, I’d rehome.
