What's the temp? How often do you feed? Any bullying that you've noticed?

Tank temp ranges from 18-19degrees feed them once every 2 days with one cube of bloodworms the rest are feeding fine just this one :( err no no bullying i dont think he or she seems to hide quite alot thought yet the others are always very active
 
If the water is that cool, I'd only feed once a week (maybe less). The fish will have a bigger appetite with warmer seasons, and smaller appetite with colder seasons. Also, instead of blood worms, try live black worms. They're healthier for the fish and more appetizing. And uneaten food will not go bad; the live blackworm will live in the substrate.
Just a thought.

Ahh ok thanks, whats are live black worm can i feed them to juveniles snakeheads as there only around 3.5 inchs long

where can i get these from?? never heard of them in england :S
 
I get them at my LFS. They're not much bigger than blood worms and are perfect for small predators (I feed them to my 1" bichirs and 1" dats). Many people use them for fish that aren't eating.
