My fish barely eat!

Glad to hear now just try to keep all your readings down with frequent water changes until no ammonia and no nitrates show you want to try to keep your nitrates low at that point.

Sorry meant no ammonia and no nitrites nitrates are ok as long as you keep them below 20 ppm

Just tested and my ammonia is now at 0! But I will be testing daily so I will know if it goes back up.

That's good to hear now you need to test for nitrites and nitrates to see how far along your cycle possibly is.

Nitrites are 1 unfortunately... so I will do another water change tomorrow. After I get my water perfect do you think my fish will eat more?? My balas usually just eat 1 flake and then spit out the blood worms. My rainbow shark sucks in the flake and just spits it back out. What should I do about this?

Great news! My ammonia and nitrites are now both down to 0

Great to hear, in this hobby patience is virtue.
