Test for nitrite and nitrate. Your levels are probably too high. If so, make sure to siphon the crap out of the gravel and take about 50% of the water out while you are doing the siphoning. Do this once a week. That should get them eating again.

that would afect there eating habiets????
 
High levels of nitrite and nitrate can cause a fish to not want to eat. The stress from it makes them feel sick or just lose thier appetite. You also mentioned that you are keeping them at 84 degrees. That is a little warm in my opinion. Try lowering to 78-80 degrees. The higher temps will increase growth but it also makes the toxins more toxic, increases metabolism so that more waste is produced, and creates more work for you.

Ammonia remover inserts will help but it is just a "band-aid". It will be a short term solution. Nothing substitutes for water changes.
