Figure8 seems always scared...

I didn't get the water parameters since I cleaned the water today and did a 50% WC. Water is at 1.004SG... If needs be I will take it tomorrow...
He's the only fish in a 26gallons tank, today is pretty much the only day he almost refused to eat, he still came and get some bloodworm but not as much as usual.
No changes were done to the inside of the aquarium, I have put a background to the aquarium, an outside "poster" of a river bottom, a month and a half ago but seemed fine with that change.
Tank's been running for a little over a year now.
Ok here's the deal, usually when I came close to the glass he'd come to me, now he's scared and swims away and sorta panics when he can't really go anywheres. But his color is nice unless he really panics where he turns pale.
That started since, either I gave him mussel to eat, first time for him and didn't seem to like it too much, so I didn't give him any since, that was 2 weeks ago. But in the same weekend a couple of friends of mine came with their kids, oldest is 3years old, and when it was feeding time, I had her give him a shrimp,which normally he loves, but after giving it she put her hands in the glass staring at him, so he got scared and didn't eat, had to take it out and give it ½hour later. Do you think he could be sick over the mussel or just got scared enough for it to last weeks???
Can't see anything else that could have caused this, even putting something new in the tank, he won't go near like he used to...
