How do his fins look?
Is it a new tank (not cycled)?

i'd check the water chemistry and maybe put a little bit of stress coat in there..............

Everything is fine except his nose feelers and his appetite. I checked my water and I had a nitrite reading of 1. I guess its cuz I took out two convicts and added 3 3in pbass, a 4in clown knife and my ornate, I went through a mini cycle. I waterchanged yesterday and today about 30% added an established filter and a established sponge filter. Hopefully the nitrites will go down by morning
