Won't Eat or Swim

[kaemartin]

Normally he swims all over the place, but for the past couple days he's been sitting in one spot and darts away from everything. He ate last night but today he wasn't even interested and when he did start to eat he just spit it out. Does anyone know whats wrong?

He was in a one gallon tank but I thought he'd like more space. I just recently put in a heater so his water is at about 78. I only feed him two to three pellets twice a day and I soak them first. He had something hanging off his gil saturday but it came off when I put him back in his bowl. I don't know why he's acting weird.

Water quality/ adjusting to new tank/ or not enough decorations.

He has a tree that he can swim into and under with alternate exits at the bottom and two real lily plants as well around the fake tree.
