Could be some kind of protozoan parasite on the outside of the body to... See the bass rub it’s body on anything ?

Nah he doesn't just sits in one spot until feeding time

Think that’s best keep an eye on it, hope it’s ok. I assume there’s no extremes on your ph,kh and gh to.

Krill and carnivore pellets and prawns once in a while and tbh I haven't seen him poop in a while...

Well if food is going in and not coming out that’s not good that means that there’s some worms chowing down on his insides. I would start doing some research on how to properly medicate your tank chances are if your bass has parasites then your other fish do too.

there is medicated fish food on the market or you can search on youtube on how to make your own. hopefully everything turns out the best for your bass man.

He looks really thin. Is he eating and dose he get plump ,full . like this if he's getting full but not gaining weight I would guess worms

I'm not trying to sound like an A hole. But I think your not feeding him enough. Let him get full. Feed small amounts through the day. The markings on him and the tucked in fins are a sure sine of some kind of stress. Good luck
