No, they will really eat anything. Mine were pigs. Just keep at it, they will be hungry and eat!

Tank is not completely cycled it's a week into it with a plant and all chemicals are good and where they should be without being crazy or spiking

If they are not eating it acting odd in any way during a cycle, test the water and do a water change. Can be a sign something's wrong.

Ammonia .50-1
Nitrite 0-.25
Nitrate 0-5.0 more or the zero side 2.0 ish

Ammonia is a bit high. Try and keep it at or under .25ppm.
