Help! Red blood parrot not eating

My large (about 9-10") red blood parrot will not eat. Since we did the make over of the tank...he goes up to the food to eat, and will not eat it. I went out and bought several other kinds of food to see if they interest him..nothing does. He is losing his color, very pale, turning to a white if it continues. The temp is down, to about 74, the replacement heater we got couldn't keep up with the tank, could temp be affecting him? Everyone else is doing wonderful..

could be temp related...though 74 isnt that cold.
have you tried enticing it with something live such as brine shrimp or worms?

Alright guys, I figured out what was wrong, the heater that we bought wasn't keeping up with our tank. Went and bought a new bigger one (300 w) yesterday, and Fred...my one I was worried about, is doing WONDERFUL!! Thanks for all of your help..
