Blue rams won't eat

[Def]

Hey,

I have a pair of blue rams who have decided to go on a diet. They'll pick at some pellets, nab an occasional brine shrimp and have a single small bloodworm, but that's it. They don't seem to be eating what I'd consider a reasonable amount for their size.

Any thoughts on coaxing them into eating something? Or just keep chucking in the bloodworm until they get hungry...

cheers.

If they appear to be healthy , fast them for a few days[ feed them nothing ] , it shouldn't hurt them , and when they get hungry they'll eat .

By 'pick at some pellets', what do you mean? Will they eat just one and stop, or grab a few? You'd be surprised how far pellets go, it's very condensed nutrition.

They'll pick at a couple, spit them back out. Maybe eat one (or part of one) and leave the rest.

I'll keep an eye and see what happens over the next few days.
