Night crawlers, minnows and other bait can be chemically enhanced to attract fish. Assuming you bought them at a bait shop?

Either way sorry, try different kinds of pellets and flake as soon as you get the fish. Their re acclimating anyways so their chances of accepting change imo is greater.

I did indeed buy them at a local bait shop alive & then froze them. This could have been it. My two Orinos though had a few now and then and they seem great. IDK. All my fish were WC so all they ate was live at first. Then I started killing them and feeding one at a time. Then I thought about buying from a bait shop cause of how cheap it is. Wont be doing that again.

Also if parasites are the issue now Im worried my other fish may have it. They didn't want to eat this morning but I thought they were just a little spooked from the kel going berzerk.
 
They were also WC were they not? I would treat for ip's. it can't hurt, can only help. Pick up a bottle of prazi and use as directed.
 
Indeed they were WC & now that you mention it my first kel was a DOA if you guys remember...... dang.. I wonder.

Yes internal parasites can make fish spazz, twirl and die. Most fish have internal parisites at all times but its when the fish get stressed that the parasites take over the host. There are many reasons a fish could be stressed to.
