Help need some advice both of my electric blue rams don't seem right the male seem that his eyes are bigger then normal and not eating and when feeding the female is at the bottom on the tank like jumping to get the food it's like she can't swim! :(
 
Is your tank new?
Did you cycle your tank before adding fish?  If so how and for how long?
What are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings?
 
Eyes looking bigger than usual can often be pop-eye which is generally caused by poor water conditions, which can also cause you other problems.  Would help us help you to get more details about your tank and fish.
 
Electric Blue Rams are VERY sensitive fish and if not kept in the correct conditions will likely not last very long. 
 
Can you tell me the PH, GH and also if possible the TDS level is in your tank and what temperature is the water?
 
At the moment all I can suggest is to do a large water change,

Some signs of stunted growth like the bulging eyes and also some signs of ammonia poisoning... Did you cycle it? 
 
Sitting on the bottom of the tank can sometimes be Swim Bladder Disease. Do their stomachs look slightly larger than normal?
 
Cheers for the info the tank is about 2 years old they have been fine till about two days ago I been putting in waterlife that digests ammonia and nitrite
