Hairy puffer hasn't eaten in 2 weeks and isnt eating

1. PH is 6.8 Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrates are hovering around 0 if not
2. 30 Gal tank with no roommates besides some snails
3.Normally feed him every 3 days depending on how his stomach looks. normally do a 40% water change once a week. Only added some Prazi pro after a week of him not eating.
4. After a week of him not eating I put in a power head that ive been meaning to add to get a little more flow in the tank.
5.aquarium has been up for 5 years but he hasn't been there the whole time. Was cycled years ago so not sure how I did it.
He still is very active and doesn't seem to be losing weight yet im just worried about him. Ive been told they can get moody and refuse foods for a bit but not sure how long. Also for reference I have been feeding Tilapia fillets cut up, Shrimp, Earthworms and just tried to get him to eat some freeze-dried super worms to no avail. Any advice or help would be appreciated thank you in advance.
