Have you checked water parameters? Any damage on the male? Maybe they are having a little interruption in marital bliss.

No.. No damage on male

Keep doing regular water changes and keep an eye on the temperature. Beyond that, there's not much to advise.

If there's another tank to move him to, I'd personally do that- sounds to me like the female may have turned on him? Otherwise I'd just make sure there's plenty of hiding places so he can get out of sight for a while and rest?

Is he eating OK?
