IME it happens to most fish. My foxface ate like crazy for the first few days then stopped eating for about 4days, afterwards he was fine. Most likely just a phase, if it continues for more than a few days, then try feeding frozen, juicy foods that it might enjoy more. If that doesn't work, try getting a vitamin supplement like selcon. What are you feeding her now?

Im feeding them frozen foods right now i was Just worried because everyone says if you fish Don't eat that means they going to die

[Xxmxxh1]

Im gna starve them for 2 days and try flake it wasnt eating the frozen food

How much have you been feeding them?

 

[Xxmxxh1]

Little by little i only feed a very small amount

Hmm... I though may you overfed them and they got sick of the food or something along those lines. Yeah, try not feeding for a day or two and then try again. If that doesn't work I don't know what to do honestly.. Hope all goes well anyhow.
