Not eating losing weight

[Danilugosi]

Hi all my axie hasn't eaten for a week, butt was floating, belly rubs so he's in the fridge. This helped constipation last time.
He's never scared of me, but he last few days he's pushing his gills right back and scampering away.
I've done a water change and put him back in the fridge. This is day 2 of fridging.
I've tried rubbing earthworms with fresh garlic but still not eating.
I've tried bloodworm, black worm, earthworms, frozen fish and pellets.
I know he's fussy with food, but this is all unusual.

I'm headed overseas in December and I want him well before then as my dad is looking after him and I want it easy on my axie and my dad as he has no experience beyond gold fish.

Thoughts? Experiences? Advice?

He is unlikely to eat in the fridge as the cold temperature slows down their metabolism.

Have you tested the water parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH and temperature?
Is there anything he could have swallowed in his tank?
Do you usually offer live fish? I see one in the picture provided. Were these quarantined first?
What type of frozen fish were you offering?

The water is all fine, I put him in the fridge because it's helped with constipation before. He coughed up sand, hasn't had sand in the tank for about a month now (it was super fine sand).
The temp is around 19-20 degrees Celsius - a teeny bit high but I was hoping it would help with his metabolism.
I will post more pictures of the frozen fish he was eating, the live ones were quarantined.
His activity today seems to be normal.
I'm 'trying' to feed him each day. If he doesn't eat it I remove it.
Usually he has to be hand fed because he's spoilt and that's how he's conditioned but he doesn't like mum right now haha
