Mine get grumpy when shedding and eat less or don't eat when they are the most uncomfortable.
6 days seems a long time to not eat though. Can you try a different feeder and see if he can be enticed to try it?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
