need advice please!!!!!!!

i have two small bullseye snakeheads, when i first got them they would swim around never stop moving and just always be active, now they like to lay on the bottom of the tank hardly moving at all, the only time they done move is when something scares them or i drop food in, but they dont eat as viscous as they used to, they used to grab a and rip apart the blood worms, now just casualy eat them

is this normal behavior? should i be worried? what could have caused this change, maybe not enough nutrition in there food should i switch food, ph levell?

I haven't kept one in along while, obviously cause of where I live. Are there any signs of disease? Rapid gill movements, gasping for air any signs like spots or marks? Have you checked your water parameters? It's normal for freshly introduced fish to patrol alot they're getting used to their surroundings and it's also common for snakeheads to rest at the bottom of the tank from time to time. It's up to you to decide if it's more than just time to time and are they eating less? You said they aren't as vigorous, but that doesn't mean eating less. Usually eating is a good indication of there being a problem.

well i dont think they have been eating less ill pay more attention to that but they have devolved black spots down there back there not randomly placed though they like systematically run down there back so i thought this was them maturing and changing colors there still very small
