Hello.

I have an a. ocellaris i feed him flakes, i had him for over a year now going great. I noticed now he doesn't eat his flakes anymore he lets them swim by not caring, any idea? I tested the water everything is coming back good with the results, i clean the tank once every 2 weeks. He is acting odd, he just doesn't seem as energetic as before maybe it's because he isn't eating I'm not sure. There are no physical signs that i can tell of an illness his poo is normal reddish brown, his eyes are clear, his skin is clean. Here are my tank stats.

10 gallon running for over a year now
1 clown fish
2 hermit crabs
 
Can you post water stats please.
What test kit are you using.

I would research his diet needs.
Feeding flakes all the time can cause constipation, and swim bladder.
Fish need a good varied diet.

Does he look pale or darker in colour.
Being listless and lethagic can also be a sign of a bacterial infection.

Buy him some frozen foods.
Also soak his flakes in garlic juice to boost him immune system.
