Do Fiddlers Eat when Molting

[bullitzx2]

well normally i feed my fiddler 3 times a day and he eats it all. well lately he has stopped eating as much. he is active but not as much as he was. im gonna clean the tank in hopes that, that might help but does anyone know if they eat when molting? or if this sounds like creeping death?

I don't think they do actually,molting is a time of regrowing injured parts so I can't see them eating much if not any

ok because he hasnt eaten anything that i can tell, im about to vacuum the bottom because theres quite a bit of food. he does sit in one spot ALOT. sometimes out of the water sometimes under the log i put in there. so im hoping he is just about to molt and not sick or dieing
