SOS. This is the situation right now

Can you post the exact params, maybe there is something you might not notice is a problem.
Try keeping the lights off, they could be too scared from them still.
On all the pics, they don’t look sick, so I don’t think that’s an issue.

OK pH is around 6,5
Alkalinity 5
Temp 26 cel

No the rbs is very healthy indeed and the water crystal clear with 2 filters one mec and one bio
Around 5 times filtering per hour.
I have lights no more than 5 hours.

I am really worried about everything now...
I have them around 12 days I think and in all this days they don't eat normally or all together.
Before these team I was having 1 rb only and then I introduce 5 more...

I’d try lights off completely for a bit.
I’ve read of them going on hunger strikes for this long, so all you can do is keep the environment low stress and comfortable, and hope they start eating soon.
Try soaking food in garlic, it makes it more appetizing.

i know folks get excited with new fish and can feed / fuss them too much

keep the water clean and fed on prepared foods (fish filet / shrimp)

OK I will try on 3 days let them starve.... How do you say to give this kind of food?
Fresh or frozen?
Just drop it or hang on from a wire?

I would just drop pellets right into the tank for mine.

don’t starve them, they will eat each other -

feed until full / remove leftover food

drop in small pieces one at a time until they are full / let food fall on the ground

i kept common plecos (pygo will kill eventually) for cleanup with my pygo -
