I have three axys & none of them have been wanting to eat at all , its been about 6 days , they arent getting skinny or anything & i checked the water & the levels are all fine , has this happend to you before? they bite whatever i feed them & they spit it out & when i get it close to them they turn away , they usually take anything out of my hand , help ?? :/ ive tried feeder fish , crickets , worms , they have downed a couple of wax worms but thats it they dont want to eat at all :/
 
Is the temperature OK? Are they juveniles that might be just reaching the age where they don't need to eat every day?
 
they are about 10 months old but they are huge between 7 & 9 inches

i finally fed them legless crickets yesterday , i always fed them every 2-3 days , thats why i got worried , they actually started looking skinnier , is this normal ? water temp stays between 60 & 70 degrees & all levels checked out good
 
10 degrees is a pretty big temperature swing. They could be stressed from the changing temperature.
