My german blue ram are really slow and they aren't eating is that normal? they swim around but REALLY slow and they stop fighting now. I put blood worms, flakes, tubidex and like my other barbs eat them fish but the ''sinking one'' they just look at them and dont eat it.

What should i do?

How long have they been in there? How long has the tank been established?

My GBR didn't eat and didn't look too happy for about three days, now he's fine. He was apparently just acclimating to new surroundings. Eventually he scooted up to the top and now he eats just fine.

It could be that the water isn't 'old' enough and it's causing the little guys stress.

Good luck with this gorgeous fish!

Generally the water has to be a good six months old for it to technically 'old' enough, or so I'm LED to believe.
