Nothing to worry about, it is just a male cupping it's anal fin.
Normal behavior for a male Bichir that is going through a kind of "puberty".

If this is the case and the water parameter is right, then it is quite strange....endies dont usually starve themselves....best throw some GFs inside and tempt him. Shd be fine after a while.
