you think they are sick then too as of now?

I don't want to give you any false impression but that was just my experience. Maybe somebody with more experience can chime in and give you a more accurate answer.

If your water is good!!!!And youve had these fish for a week or so.And they were eating and now are not .they are most likely ill!!Also it is probly some sort of parasite .Personly i would recomend raising temps to 86 add salt for stress.And if they are still reacting poorly.Kordon has a product called ich attack 100% NATERALYou could try that or copper .But copper is not good on small fish and is a dangerous heavy metal despite how well it works .It kills ALL INVERTS.so be carefull on treatments!!!

it could be a number of issues. My fishes would often swim and what not but then stop and rest at the bottom. What kind of breathing behavior do they have but like we said, not eating could be the first sign to them being ill.
 
they are breathing normally gills are not open big as they are normal, but when i enter the room they get their dark colors and then they swim like crazy then they rest on something or on the ground...when i lurk into the room i find them swimming but when they see me yep tats wat happens..they are like scared of us or something...no one can get near the tank or they go crazy, tats why i cover with towel

and forgot when i feed them bloodworms/blackworms they wont even chase...they are scared of me when i feed them so i just throw in one or two feeder guppies in there

as long as they're eating then it shouuld be alright? Maybe try stalking them next time you put in bloodworms to see if they'll feed?
