My orinos stopped eating blackworms.:nilly: They started to stop eating sunday, at first i thought oh the are just fasting but now they are not eating still. I did a water change on saturday and didnt feed them that night because they still have a pretty full stomach. They are all dark now they used to be yellow and now they are dark green/black. What could be wrong? Could it be the blackworms or am i over reacting?

I really dont want to throw in some guppies and just keep them on blackworms. I just looked at the blackworms and they smell really really bad is this maybe why they wont eat them? And they are some white areas i bought them pretty much like this, with some white areas of blackworms and they ate them b4

Thanks for the info but they dont even go toward them. They dont even notice it. Also why are they sometimes dark now. when i turned on the lights, after like 10 mins two of them turn back yellow coloring but one of them stayed a dark green color. Why would this happen?
