sorry I cant help much with the question but my texas cichlid has been doing the same thing... I havent seen him eat for over a month.
Maybe I can help. I have a Dovii, he is about 18". When he hit 8" or 9" I had the same problem. That's when they start getting really aggressive. All he wants to do is attack you or kill whatever is in his tank. As long as you are there, he can't consentrate on anything else. I have to put his food in when I leave the room. And then he eats it fine.
Try doing that. It should work.

its also common for fish to go on hunger strikes for a week or 2. i would just look the fish over real good and make sure he has no parisites or diseases. make sure ur water quality is good and keep doing water changes and feeding him and he should come around.
