How long have you had him, maybe he is just adjusting to his new enviroment if you just got him.

Give the cuttle a break, don't feed him for about a day and he should be hungry by then, sometimes my cuttles will ignore food thats just in front of their faces. How large are the fish and shrimp?

the fish are about 2 cm and the shrimp are about 2 cm as well. If it doesnt eat could that also mean it's dieing?

it's not really good at aiming though because it has to try at least three times to get the fish or shrimp. for shrimp it usually takes around 5 times.

Where is he sat in the tank?

If he is at the surface then he is hungry and hunting, if he is sat on the botton and buried then he is nice and content!
