Is he new? Have you changed the food at all? has the water changed or his enviroment?

If no to all and he is just being a grump, try some seachem entice.

If it looks healthy & you haven't changed food or water conditions he's probably sulking.If mine start sulking they wont eat for 2 or 3 days.
Cheers Brian.

sounds like sulking to me   do what i used to    everytime i looked in tank he lol to the side and look pityful,so one night i turned off the light and just hung round to see   sure enough light went out and he straightened and looked much better, turn light on and boom onto side and sad again. Dammn fish, i entertained many friends with this particular antic. Other than that are there any other fish in there for company.  good luck  peter
